That's interesting about extra functionality.  However, my complaint has been 
that if you happen to be arrowing through a data detecter field letter by 
letter or even word, it keeps saying "data detecter" for every keystroke.  that 
is what I would wanna be rid of.  I think I like the idea of a small beep or 
tick like you get with mis-spellings when reading by line.
