Draft DHTML Developer's Checklist

[Colin Clark]

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for your suggestions, these are great. I've improved labelling  
in Item 3, and will include a code snippet illustrating how to create  
namespaces in JavaScript.

Examples sound good; I'll see what I can dig up and what Eli has in  
mind as well.

I'm planning to distribute this checklist more widely in the Sakai and  
uPortal communities later this week.
