+0.5.

-0.
C3) do nothing
+0.
C4) default browser behaviour -- move focus to next
form field (which is
happening now for all situations)
-1 since this is what we're trying to avoid.
C5) if the cursor is at the beginning of a paragraph
it should indent the first
line in the paragraph (the CSS way), but I am pretty sure that's too much trouble.
-0, this seems not noobproof enough to me.
