Reading further on, I see that you're looking at end-user.  This changes
things a bit.  Now you're looking at trying to make things user-proof,
maintain data integrity (Who said 1<>one?), validate data, so on and so
on.  You're probably looking at custom code now.

But, if you can trust the user(s), I'd STILL say don't reinvent, but just
use a something that is already written.
