Well, this was my original suggestion, but it would cause problems:
o users confused by unexpected and slow network access
o just how should browsers decide when to submit for
text and numeric fields (easy for radio buttons)?
The explicit submit button avoids these issues. A possible middle course
is to add a simple constraint language for forms, but this will have to
wait until we have more experience ...
