Why would I want to do this :)
You might want to emphasize a word in the help string, which
would require an extent. Or you might want to put a glyph in
the balloon to give the user an exact picture of the button
they should press to initiate an action.
I don't understnad the resistance to the existing balloon help.
Presumably if the Windows port was done properly, balloon-help.el
should just work. It doesn't rely on X specific things as far as
I know.
