In the web interface, it would be nice to have editable grids of data.
(improves the current editable="bottom" mode by removing the need to 
click on each line before editing it)
Please see the following screenshot for an example of how this can be done:
http://picasaweb.google.com/datrus0/UntitledAlbum#5415023273026247666
It can really speed up the editing process a lot.

Another good improvement would be to remove the need to click 2 times to 
add a one2many item to an object in the web client. (for example to add 
a line to an invoice, you currently have to click 2 times. I don't see 
any reason why it is currently like this and it can become annoying when 
using the web interface a lot)

Thanks,
