first, aral, let me ask that you *please* trim when replying to
anything on thelist... just trimming headers and footers alone could
have cut the size of that message...

second, while the form *may* be more robust, what happens if the user
doesn't have Flash?  what about alternative browsers?  what about if
the user doesn't have the latest version of Flash, will your form
have accesskeys, labels, tabindices, and other
usability/accessibility attributes built into HTML4?  what about
kicking up font sizes?  etc...
