Hmm, well, a tooltip is certainly better than nothing at all.
I don't recall exactly what I said about tooltips in the mail you're
referring to, but the main objection I can think of right now is that
I'm not sure all browsing setups support tooltips nicely.
Perhaps another way is to include the machine description details in
the per-animal status history page, eg in or under the "System Detail"
