Hmm, and how will they realize it, if they don't understand how HOT
comes into the equation?

How about just adding a "for more information look here link" pointing to http://developer.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/pgsql/src/backend/access/heap/README.HOT?rev=1.2

That is the link Alvaro sent me in the first part of the thread.  It was a very good read explaining how HOT works along with the caveats.
