Subject: proposal for INPUT TYPE=options

I don't speak SGML, but here's what I mean:

        <INPUT TYPE="options" OPTIONS="option1,option2,option3"
         VALUE="option2" NAME="myoptions"> 

Instantiation in Mosaic will be a Motif option menu.  Separator in
OPTIONS is comma; any leading whitespace in each option is ignored.
The rest is straightforward.

Comments?  We'd like to do this for Mosaic 2.0pre5, and I don't think
the basic idea is objectionable, so please comment fairly quickly if
you have problems with it...

Thanks,
Marc
