Steve:
In order to help make the decsion could we find out
- the implications of the proposed changes for searching and printing functions.
- whether this is an issue for all platforms
- whether or not TAB order can be specified - that is, whether we can
determine what field is moved to following a TAB entry.
Also, I don't know what the alternatives are, but it's disappointing to see
such a critical change consigned to resolution via email without a full
discussion.
