uh... where?
There aren't any Onchange/onblur/ etc flags in entity defs. There may be in
UI control definitions. I wanted to associate default UI Controls with each
entity field for convenience, but that's the only place On(x) would ever go.

Yes, pretty much.
We can probably do UI Controls for the JS validation pieces or something,
such that formBuilder just assembles the outpt from UIControlBuilder.

Yeah, I had that feeling.

I've done a portion of the task defs, and will continue to work through
them. I'll let everyone know when I'm done.

At this point, the tasks can be divided up into two camps: make and
EntityManager. I'm much more concerned with EntityManager at the moment,
because we can always return to Make and construct new and cool things: but
the system isn't complete until that stuff is up and working.

After the Make and EM tasks are done, we can get into builders, and the
system will be pretty near done. Most of the Builder code already exists,
also.
