Cool.

Tom Boothby -- please fix.

That's not a bug. That's just how web forms work -- sending the
whole cell back to the server every time you change it would
take way too long, and I don't think it is possible to catch
the paste event. There are two possible design questions that
a related to this, though:
(1) There will be an edit mode, which is *not* done yet. You
can try the mockup by clicking "edit". You could use this
to easily paste between worksheets without any evaluation
occuring.
(2) There could be an "submit but don't evaluate" keystroke or
button for each cell. The keystroke -- what should it be?
The button --- more clutter we don't want.

That doesn't exist. That will be very easy to do when we finish
the edit mode mentioned above. Then it will be very easy to copy
bits around, reorganize, and even introduce sectioning markup.

I agree. I think we really need to finish that edit mode. It would
at least make it so you can easily do everything listed above, without
even having to use the load/save function.
