Since we're entering the world of using more javascript in the
browser, why not have the add form on the top but hidden by default
with and Add button of some sort that would cause the form to be
shown? We could even make it fancy and popup over top of the list form
and have it go away after submission with an update of the list behind
it... without any page loads even.

I would agree with that but personally I would prefer to see them on
completely different pages. If I wanted to be able to refer back to
the
list while adding I would ctrl+click and then ctrl+tab to flick back
and
forth, that's what makes tabbed browsers so handy. One of the
problems with
having them on the same page is that any errors after adding would be
displayed before the list while the add form would be way down the
bottom.

I believe the form should be on top of the list. Otherwise, as you
add
items to the list, the form is scrolled off the bottom of the
screen.
The main question is: what is going to be used more? Will it be the
list or
the add form?
If in most cases it will be the list, and if you have to scroll
down every
time to see it... that's a pain.
