 I found out just how bad this page is when debugging an issue related to
 {{{WPLANG}}}. {{{WPLANG}}} is an option for a blog in your network
 (overrides {{{WPLANG}}} in {{{wp-config.php}}}), but if you delete the
 option on purpose or accidentally, there is no way of restoring it in the
 admin.

 Site Settings just loads your options table and POSTs back to itself. The
 only reference to the original options map (the defaults) is in schema,
 which WP has zero access to outside of upgrade.

 I have abstracted the default options and the default "fat" options into
 functions in {{{ms.php}}}. Also, when loading your Site Settings options -
 if a default option is missing, I display it in the admin so you can save
 it (it is populated with its default value).

 I have also streamlined and condensed some code that was happening in and
 around {{{populate_options()}}}
