It is tricky to try to anticipate future development, so here are a few 
thoughts we should consider:

1. Let's sit down and talk with the ESI folks who will be deciding and 
developing these kinds of things (e.g. double-clicking in cataloging UIs, Admin 
menus, etc.).  We need a better idea from them of the direction they will take, 
the timeline, which UIs they consider "stable", etc.

2. When reasonable, we could leave in documentation about things not yet 
developed for the web client, marked with an asterisk or some note like "(not 
yet available)".  This informs users of what is coming, and it makes it easy to 
remove those notes when the features are ready.

Thoughts?
