-* Green sections on pages need some kinda notice like "click a part of the equation for more details" (whenever there are 1 or more datapoints in the equation). Wiki writers shouldn't have to manually say it every time.
+* Ability to split calculations onto multiple lines, for better readability.
-* The 'from previous calculation' box could really benefit from having the numerical value in it (preferrably in the 'units wanted' of the previous calculation. Is this easy to implement?

-* Better graceful failure when javascript isn't available. The green section should say something about needing a browser that has javascript. Instead, it currently just shows a half-baked calculation, in a way that would confuse most readers.

-* Better graceful failure when datapoints aren't available. Just give some notice - maybe keep the equation the way it is, but put the result as 'unknown - missing data points' and put the missing datapoints as red links which show a box "data unavailable - research is unfinished" (or if that takes to long, then at least just have the datapoints as red text).
+* Better error handling: Currently, syntax errors will bleed into the next calculations and produce messages that don't even make sense.
