Include a transaction ID in forms, such that a double-submit can be
detected programatically, and doubled operations averted.

Breaking browser UI in favor of web application UI isn't necessary,
and certainly isn't desirable (because users will use available queues
and UI items, and that back button will always be there, and will
always mean "go back to the previous screen", whereas the phpgroupware
UI will only exist (to the user) inside of phpgw apps).

Kinda moot, very little in phpgw breaks due to back-button useage
anyway, in my experience, but it'd certainly be an excellent policy to
enforce that behaviour.
