Hi Stéphane & Markus,

Giving this some initial thought, it strikes me that key to having a
nice user interface is to allow users to set db-dependent user
preferences.  The RIS specification is too long to imagine having an
unconfigurable user interface, which is efficient.  The obvious place
to store the preferences is in refdb itself.  The table t_user could
have a third field, user_prefs, which is an alphanumeric string.  The
user's preferences could be stored there as PHP code and sucked in and
executed as necessary.

Does this seem reasonable?

Sandy
