My only comment, and I realize it may seem a bit bikesheddy, is that I
don't like the trend towards ajax popups within pages.  They get in
the way of being able to refer back to other parts of the page and
towards opening things in other tabs.  I'd rather there was an
unfolding area or a totally separate page.
