+"""
+   This patch creates a new field in listbox formulator form.
+   It allows entering of the script name, which in turn should return a name
+   (or names separated by spaces) of the css class(es). They would be usually 
+   based on some conditions related to the objects listed in that listbox.
+   The css class should be defined separately and added (preferably dynamicaly)
+   to the erp5.css style sheet.
+   In combination with the erp5_core_experimental BT (rev. >= 19770) for each 
+   listbox line where script returns the css class name(s), it is added to that
+   line default css class ('DataA' or 'DataB').
+
+   RATIONALE: this is a very handy functionality, since it allows besides
+   filtering to mark items of special meaning/importance. It is already used 
+   with success in eg. Thunderbird for marking mail messages.
