I think you may be being overly harsh on what was done before, but,
yes.  I'm impressed!

I've checked a few of these, all with credit card payments.  I haven't
done the sums carefully to check that I'm being billed the correct
amount, sorry.

There were bugs in the defaults that bit you when you clicked finish
without clicking on 'book accomodation'.  I think I've fixed these.

Unless I'm being blind, the confirmation email doesn't tell you what
accomodation you've booked.  It does tell you what you've paid for
accomodation.

There's a bug in the page you get after succeeding at paying with
worldpay:

(I can probably fix this given a few moments and a bit of grepping).

It might be nice (tm) if there was a "no accomodation" option on the
accomodation page.  Currently there's a slight (and false) sense of
irrevocability about reaching this page.  Or we could just add text
that says "put a zero in this box if you don't want our accomodation".

I would be nice (tm) but possibly deeply fiddly to have the finish
button appear on the personal info page iff you've already filled out
one of the other pages.  Actually, this is probably not that hard in
ZPT-speak.

Yup.  I think bea & I are getting on to this.

Yup.

Working on it...

Yes!  Should be easy in the ZMI, though.

Finding it hard to care...
