so why are they greyed out ?

it is a fairly universally established metaphore that greyed out means  
disabled. I dont think they should be disabled but the current situation  
seems to be niether on nor the other and in being a non standard state  
will confuse the user (as the earlier comment demonstrates).

If they are active and have a ligitimate function in this context why are  
they grey?
