--- Comment #13 from ancow <bugs at ancow.no-ip.org> ---
In general, I like the idea. However, it causes problems:
 - Removing and adding boxes causes the user interface to move eratically,
which would probably be annoying.
 - If Parley unconditionally removes input boxes whenever a separator is
entered, placing an incorrect separator will remove the user's ability to give
one correct answer (it may even remove an already entered answer, depending on
the implementation).
 - If it only removes boxes whenever a separator was placed in the correct
position, it is giving the user unacceptable hints about the correctness of the
answer (basically marking the answer as (partially) correct before the user
chooses to verify it).

OTOH, simply displaying separators+1 boxes may suggest an incorrect amount of
answers, which isn't exactly good, either.

The bottom line is, in the current version, this problem is going to be
difficult to solve cleanly, so compromises will have to be made, In the new
version, there needs to be some mechanism by which the user can cleanly
differentiate alternative answers while specifying them, so that Parley can use
that information to do cool stuff... ;)
