Aye - feel free to make the change ("Be Bold" philosophy), or tell us 
more about why you think they should happen - I'm reasonably happy with 
either the current layout or the one that you outlined, so my personal 
activation energy to make the change hasn't been triggered (yet).

Here is the situation as it stands:

* We'll use Carl's (gorgeous) form for the smoke testing
* We'll use the current SMW test forms setup for non-smoke testing 
(since afaik there isn't another solution for this yet)

I'm personally happy with this - if someone can do better (particularly 
for the non-smoke testing setup), we'll use that instead. I'm more 
concerned with getting test data in a consistent and exportable format 
for this round than exactly what system and format is used; that's the 
reason this is a small-scale trial.

Hurrah, magic buttons! Good luck!
