    It'd be nice if the contact page could look at the referring page
    and based on that, "do the right thing." For example, if I'm
    looking at the Endy lab page, the contact form should send an
    email to the endy lab contact. The simplest implementation I can
    think of is to have a special tag people could put on pages for
    example, {{contact:myemail at blah}}. Labs would put it into their
    lab template, protocol writers would put it into their protocols,
    etc. The contact page extension would try to find such a tag and
    if it exists, send the comment email there. Otherwise, it sends to
    the generic oww feedback address.
