This looks good to me.  I like it that you can register for the conference
and not have to go through the hasslde of getting a login, or waiting
for it to be validated.  This is all I wanted to avoid.

I know somebody who wants to submit a paper.  If it is accepted he is
flying here from the USA.  If it isn't, he isn't.  I don't think that
he would mind doing somehting like 'indicating an interest to attend'
but no cash will change hands until he hears from the Refereed Paper
Authorities.
