As we discussed, need a way to handle field names across sites, with examples
such as SS and ACCT.

Because of the possible security/privacy related ramifications, a
proposal/solution for this needs to be in place before we can push it in for
Beta 1.  The actual fix could come later (but of course, in time for beta 1).

OK, you've convinced me.  I see the security flaw.

But now we have to add a lot of new entries to the universal field-to-schema
table.  In particular, for every schema name we'll need an entry of the form:

   name.first -> name.first
   name.last -> name.last

etc.  Previously these names would be universal across all forms simply by
the nature of the dynamic schema mechanism.  But now dynamic schema will
apply only to a particular form so it can be refilled in again when returned
to but will no longer be applied accross forms.

I have a fix in hand and will be checking it in just as soon as I get a code
review.  I'll also check in an expanded field-to-schema table.
