Knowing oracle's knack for disgusting user interfaces, which shouldn't be used after a meal, we will get an abomination which will contain Java applets, lots of JavaScript, icons and flashing pictures, may be even some sound, like playing Mozart's concerto No. 40 in G-minor or Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture whenever the "submit" button is pressed, and then returning a bunch of unusable documents which you are not entitled to see.
I must say, it's still better then playing Ludacris or Eminem to the unsuspecting Metalink users. BTW, oracle white papers in the rap format, sung by Ludacris would be a blast, when I come to think of it.
