Mike,
It's great that you're working on this. I was definately a bit confused
the first time I ever ran into that error message. I think your
revisions are a big improvement.
I see only one bit of ambiguity in the new message, the line:
+ " You cannot submit a form after disabling an input element via
javascript."
From the seat of a naive user, it is unclear from this wording whether
disabling an input will prevent the entire form submit from succeeding.
At the risk of making the message even longer, it would be good to point
out the consequences of this mistake, e.g.
+ " You cannot submit a form after disabling an input element via
javascript - doing so will cause the entire submit to fail"
or
+ " You cannot submit a form after disabling an input element via
javascript - doing so may have unexpected results"
I don't know. I don't remember exactly what the effects of this are,
it's been a while since I've had the problem. If we know what damage
this does though, we should state it.
In any case, the changes are definately for the better. You get my +1,
even with no further revisions.

If the input for a component is set to disabled via javascript, the

This is not true if the component is set to read-only via javascript.
I don't think the error above is clear.
Explanation of what's happening underneath here:

Perhaps it should be rewritten as:
"There should always be a submitted value for an input if it is
rendered and its form is submitted. You cannot submit a form after
disabling an input element via javascript. Consider using read-only
instead or resetting the disabled value back to false prior to form
submission."
I'm going to start with this, but I'd like to have someone else
confirm that this is a better solution.
