Is there any reason why there is so much javascript used in Imp? We are 
trying to make Imp as accessible as possible to people with 
disability-friendly web browsers (e.g. for the blind), and have noticed 
many cases where there will be a form button that instead of actually 
being a TYPE=SUBMIT button, it will be a generic button, which submits 
through a javascript action. Is there any reason that this and many 
other things could not be changed to the scriptless HTML equivalents?
