okay, we'll leave the old forms there, too ;-)

I'd say those are independent. As much as a layout engine would be
welcome, it wouldn't solve some other problems (I think) text document
forms have.

Never tried. Given the lack of a usable IDE for JavaScript in OOo,
personally I wouldn't even think about trying.
