Description David Whiteman CLA 2007-07-31 13:08:34 EDT 
The document column in the rule bindings table has interaction problems. If I select a document, "<all>" is still a choice for Alias.  When I select a document, I cannot go back to selecting none.  It's also confusing as to how it should be used, and the code to control the interaction is complicated and therefore brittle.  

I propose we simplify the table by going back to just two columns: Alias and Rule.  The Alias combo would allow you to type anything, and all currently defined aliases for all documents to be exported are selectable, in addition to "<all>".

Removed document column so we don't go out in version 1.0 with that confusing UI.  Plus this change was needed to support the longer absolute URI aliases from SML 1.1 (the columns were too narrow otherwise).
