The autocomplete dropdowns were added to elements.html for the reason that
they have a different HTML structure. I am wondering how hard it would be
to just getElementsByClass() and attach the scripts to these so that they
could be more easily themed?

maybe we should have a namespace USER (I am trying to keep reserved words
all upper case) which would store this info? Easy enough to add.

For now I don't think it is likely to be feasible to stop doing
localization on the server. We do autodetect yyyy-mm-dd dates so any
localization should use that format. However as we move all code over, I
can see the benefits of moving this onto the client for data entry. I
think for display we will still need it on the server though so I am not
sure it is possible to do all of this.
