Still, they are logic, and you don't want to rip out those functions and just
put them into the templates - you'd be massively increasing the size and
complexity of the templates. So there have to be UI libraries somewhere -
Horde:: isn't the right ending place for them, but in some kind of layout class
*is*. Just templates isn't the answer.

If you have the time to be a bit patient, I'd like to really work on this and
work off of your work with IMP. Let's see if we can come up with a really nice,
clean, fast solution that'll be applicable to other Horde applications, too.
