As I understand it, yes you do have to switch to a resourceRef strategy 
if you want something other than a text string (and you don't want to 
engage in tag abuse ...).

Conversely, you can look on the bright side.  If you switch to using an 
external XML resource for your descriptions, you have the opportunity to 
include a richly-structured description, possibly conforming to some 
suitable XML standard application.
