The method for getting the welcome text for the election needs to be done
earlier than the rest of the XML file interface at least, because it is needed
by the welcome page for the election administration unit.  

There also needs to be a method for getting the question number of a given
question in order to generate the appropriate name for the input for that
question ("question3" etc...)

An obvious note is that this is for PHP 5 and we're using PHP 4 so that needs
to change (already under way)

Knowing how to formulate a question (since it won't be a class) is neccessary,
but that is also being fixed (I know because I am doing both components)
