Finished migrating the "proto" app (which only contained a Person profile edit
form) to the new combined trunk/app layout. Also, moved the form template
from profile.html to profile/edit.html, to follow the "one template per view"
approach (rather than have read-write vs. read-only logic in a single
template).
# Performance note: I benchmarked this code using a set instead of
# a list for the stopwords and was surprised to find that the list
# performed /better/ than the set - maybe because it's only a small
# list.
