I think we're going to need the javascript to process the form.
I thought about making it external, too. That would definitely save
bandwidth on the second download if the html isn't able to be cached
(currently cgi).

But the first table "Main" is responsible for most of the size of the
document between js variables, processing code, and form options.
Making this "Step 1" could half the initial download for the first
visit. Of course it means the backend gets more complicated...
