 Regarding the XFN section on the Write-Link pages:

 The UX on this section is fairly terrible. We give the user an editable
 "rel" field and then don't let them edit it via javascript. Note that if
 you disable javascript and then edit that field, then your changes are
 indeed saved and then even show up on the resulting pages correctly. That
 javascript just won't let you manually edit the field.

 I propose that the javascript on this section be changed to allow manual
 editing of that field, and to make the checkbox/radio sections just
 add/remove the relevant bits from the field when they are
 selected/deselected. Result should allow user to manually insert stuff
 into the rel field and leave those manual insertions unaltered when
 changing the radio/checkboxes, unless they conflict with the selections
 being made directly.

 Also, side note, would be nice to add a nofollow checkbox to this section
 as well, to allow easy addition of nofollow to the rel field, which would
 be handy for the somewhat over-controlling SEO oriented people. ;)
