This is what is in the admin/entry.html page, although it is in the form
<input type=hidden name=mv_order_route value="route1 route2 route3">,
but instead of executing route1 route2 route3 it executes the default
route.  Is this problem because the [value] tag is not used?  Why then
is bug #361 not resolved?
