mmm... I've been out working on my thesis for weeks and now just
starting to weed through the hundreds of emails in my backlog...  Since
I am jumping on in the middle I may be totally out in left field, but
here is my two cents...

I vehemently oppose java enabled web interfaces to just about anything. 
Oh sure it is nice to offload much of the processing from the server to
the users computer, but I still do not trust it...  Sure I may trust you
guys, but I've had problems by turning java* on when I *had to*, then
forgetting that java and cookies were turned on went a-browsing...  No,
I keep it turned off as a rule and do not do business with companies
which require it to be turned on (companies that give you a choice are
another matter).
