Tell new users to read the tag wiki

On the "Ask Question" page, when the keyboard focus is in the entry box for "Tags", on the right hand side we see a box with some information on "How to Tag".

Can we add an item in there to indicate to users that, after selecting a tag, they can hover the mouse over the selected tags (which now appears below the entry box) to read the Tag-Wiki excerpts, to see if they have selected an appropriate tag? I think this will help with the problem of new users applying grossly inappropriate tags because they don't actually understand what a particular tag is for. (This happens a lot on Math, but also a bit on TeX and other sites that I read.)
