If you want to implement it, however, I would suggest that a new HTML_QuickForm type would be the correct place to implement it. I have implemented the client-side stuff before, and have some code I can donate if you're interested. I have generic methods (fillSelect(), disableControl() and so forth), as well as some project-specific glue code to make it work. I implemented it with jsolait and XML-RPC; each selection triggers an XML-RPC call to fetch the values for the next <select/>.
