Comment (by goldfire):

 Thanks for adding that. It's helpful, though I imagine 90% of visitors
 will skip over it.

 Is it possible to use styling (italics, etc.) in field names? If a visitor
 sees that some fields are italicized or grayed or xxx, they might look
 around to find the key.

 Actually, it would be pretty awesome if we could apply a slight graying to
 the fields that we don't expect visitors to fill out. I imagine that all
 tickets all the time would have this graying, but a color change would, I
 think, be less jarring to us regulars than, say, italics would be. And the
 graying has just the right connotation to visitors. (We would also add a
 sentence at the top explaining, for those who look.)
