------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 I was uploading a file and I thought that it was of type SDMF because of
 the radio button that was next to "SDMF" and was selected. A more careful
 examination shows that it was actually an immutable because of the less
 noticeable checkbox next to "Create mutable file" that was unselected.
 (See attached screen capture.)

 Let's replace this checkbox/radio button combo with instead a single radio
 button which is exactly one of "immutable", "SDMF", "MDMF (experimental)".

 I propose to make this change in 1.9.
