 As I'm maintaing the German WordPress Forums, I notice that many people
 unintentionally bring their WordPress installs to standstill, because
 they're editing the input fields 'WordPress address (URL)' and/or 'Site
 address (URL)' by curiosity.

 The're are only few scenarios, why these input fields might be useful. In
 most cases they produce damage.

 So I propose to remove the fields (why don't edit wp-config.php instead?)
 or at least put a big warning message next to them. Another suggestion is
 to show a JS alert after editing ('...Only change this, if you know what
 you're doing...only enter an URL, that physically points to your
 Blog...').
