277	simplify the wui	zooko	zooko	"If you are looking at a directory and you want to get a read-only link to a child of it, currently you have to get the read-only URI and then prepend that with {{{http://127.0.0.1:8123/uri/}}}.  It would be nice if there were a ""read-only-link"" hyperlink next to the ""URI-link"" hyperlink.  But for that matter, maybe the time has come to make all representations of caps emitted by tahoe start with {{{http://127.0.0.1:8123/uri/}}}.  Then we could simplify the wui to offer the hyperlink to the file and a {{{read-only}}} hyperlink (if and only if you have write access to the file).  We could remove or move into a special metadata-page the {{{JSON}}} and {{{text-plain}}} links, and remove entirely the {{{URI}}} and {{{readonly-URI}}} links, the {{{URI}}} link for files, which is identical to the actual hyperlink to the file, and the {{{text-plain}}} link.

If we implement #103 -- ""navigate by URIs in webish.py"" -- then we can remove the {{{URI}}} link for files, too.

Therefore, we can have a nice simple wui with at most two hyperlinks per child: the read-write link (if appropriate) and the read-only link (if appropriate).  In addition to those two links, there would be a set of actions (buttons) available, if appropriate: delete, overwrite, rename, check, view metadata."	enhancement	new	major	eventually	code-frontend-web	0.7.0
