It's a start.  If Emacs detects text properties in fundamental mode
recommending to switch to enriched mode (M-x enriched-mode RET) could
help; plus a link to the manual.  More isn't needed make the user pay
attention.

Personally I'm more interested in other areas (psgml and DocBook
resp. TEI support using speedbar; improving the usability of
po-mode.el).  Since my knowledge in programming is rather limited, it
takes time.  I think it will help to forward reports of new users (it
hard to convince them to write reports on their own).
