Why not give it generic "description" and "helpText" fields?

Current desktop apps can show "description" in tooltips and "helpText" using the What's This feature.
Current mobile apps can simply ignore them.
Future desktop and mobile apps can show them (or not) using the UI concepts future designers come up with.
