OK about relicensing.

I think LGPL will be compatible with Affero and later GPL v3.

If we are going to use that code we should test it on Konqueror/Safari
too.  Anyway, that can be done later.



The tasks which I propose to realize in the first batch,
before the huge new-Klaus-architecture, are:

1. Use "HTML 4.01 Strict" instead of "HTML 4.01 Transitional"
   http://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?6177

     * We will use <div>s

2. Try this form design option: hide not mandatory fields
   http://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?6447

     * We can use the code you have exposed here.

3. Check all the pages with http://validator.w3.org/
   http://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?6546

4. Use approved field names: RFC 3106
   http://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?6769

5. menu: The colors are kind of bland, o it's hard to see what's a link
   and what's a heading.
   http://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?6770

6. non-clickable text in the menu
   http://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?6771

Note as almost all this tasks are related to the presentation layers.



Second batch:

n. re-use any forms to show error messages
   http://savannah.nongnu.org/task/?6540

m. Klaus architecture
