And finally, a context sheet that automatically corrects spelling, grammar and punctuation according to the rules of Fowler's Modern English Usage (I sneer at your Eats Shoots and Leaves!). It should also automatically correct non-standard terminology, remove facetious or rude comments, repel dirt, be waterproof and render legible the hand-writing of all staff by transforming the script into best copperplate.

Oh come now. Reading fatuous and wacky comments on context sheets are the only entertainment us poor shmos who have to data imput the bloomin things actually get.
(Mind you I'm with you on the legible handwriting bit)What I'd like is the special archaeological tricorder that Jean Luc Picard had in a episode of Star Trek TNG once that scanned, planned and dated a site for him in about 3 seconds flat. That, combined with a transporter beam to lift all the nice finds out with no effort at all is my idea of archy heaven.
