I did not mean that you should drop what you are doing and discard this review 
and patch completely... :-) Instead, we should work together and each be aware 
of what the other is doing.

Please revive your patch and this review.

One immediate comment: I found that I could retrieve the token by using the tag 
"token", but I could not use "token" in the "args" map. I had to use 
"Bugzilla_token". I have no idea why that is. I am using an Apple OS X 
platform, but that should not make a difference to a web dialog.
