Ooh, this is an interesting idea!
Yeah, I think we should do this too. IIRC mconnor pinged me on IRC
about this at some point and I promised to help the person who wants to
write the patch! :-)

Yeah, although I'd wait to see if website authors ask for that feature.
About the security issue, we already track whether the value in the form

value, and we can show the UI only for controls that the user has filled in.
