Added as 1602610 I believe that the code is in there for read requests :-). I think it is just a matter of determining how we want these to be controlled.

I think the above are the same feature request (1602611).

And when you want to see the ones that shipped through Holland, maybe AR/Transactions is better.

My own thinking is that some things ought to be removed (like ship via) since they are probably better covered in AR/Transactions. Other things like Salesperson or Period might be useful in some circumstances but probably not. Again, AR/Transactions might be better (though I would love to hear counterexamples). As far as working with it, we are moving to an interface that will use one of two different technologies. Initially we will use TemplateToolkit to create the interfaces, and once they are stable, we will move them to XML/XSLT so that they can more easily be used from other technologies (part of the infrastructure goal). A lot of this work is starting in 1.3, so you will probably want to discuss this matter on the developer's list in more depth. If you are interested in helping out with UI design generally, we are always willing to work with people to help them develop their patches such that they can be accepted.
