Personally, I think the biggest problem is that no-one has come forward to champion the attempt to add such a system, ie one of the pmdev or gods, and until that happens, we're not going to get any improvements in that direction.

Ive been hoping that some bright spark will figure out a way to do this from the freenodelet and tell us about it so we can just merge it into the system. If this is going to be a JS solution (IMO it should be) then there is no need for PMDEV to participate until someone has done an implementation in the freenodelet that works well with at least one of our input forms.

OTOH I agree that if a god or pmdevil decided that doing this was important (and not just nice to have) it would be done already but the truth is there is no need for us to do it first, the nature of the problem allows any user to implement a solution.
