Thanks. Yes, we're looking into making no 1 and 2 happen asap.

We've look at few JS libraries, but, they're not as good looking as Flash one. What is the major drawback of Flash you think? Isn't most people's machine got Flash installed these days considering YouTube etc? Thanks

It's pretty easy to do number 1. use a regex ([0-9]*) and check if there is more than one group of matched values. If there is more than one group then you can either error it out or do some more sophisticated checking(i.e. 100 meal at 10:50pm, two numbers but easy to discern what the intent was) number two is a bit more difficult but still fairly easy.
