Right, at some level the question of disable versus disappear becomes an 
opinion question. There are obvious places where one or the other is 
clearly better, and some cases like this where it's debatable.

My point is that making this element go away was being proposed as the 
solution to a problem that Sheila seems to be having where disabled form 
elements are not appearing properly disabled.

Hiding the element may be a good idea on its own merit, but we need to 
fix the actual problem rather than glossing over it.
