That's a really nice point about formNoValidate. Where it comes to
writing progressively enhanced experiences I do like to have a good
baseline and this is one I hadn't considered but it will be on my mind
from now on.

However, while I'm sure I'd know how to write the code to solve this,
I'm just as interested in knowing if anyone felt it wouldn't be a good
user experience. I take it you don't see anything terrible in this as an
overarching approach?
