Other ideas:

2. Remove post-submit "error" and checkbox
3. Normal submit
4. After submit go to confirmation screen (could be AJAXified to not need a refresh)

2. Remove post-submit "error" and checkbox
3. Extend existing JavaScript module to disable the submit button when username matches logged-in user, and add a checkbox next to the submit button "[_] Are you sure you want to block yourself ?"

2. ..which when ticked would set input.disabled=false

Be nice if whatever solution is chosen could be worked into HTMLForm in some sort of generic way.

That's exactly what the current system is; it's just that confirmation screen looks almost exactly the same as the original screen :)

So now only admins without javascript can accidentally block themselves? :p

This would certainly work as a JS 'graceful enable' to replace the (inevitably more clunky) web1.0 version.

you sure you want to block yourself ?" ..which when ticked would set input.disabled=false

It doesn't need to be a checkbox, just a popup confirm/cancel intercepting the form submission.

It would be something like $('#somewrapperid input.mw-htmlform-submit').click(interceptFunction) rather than anything particular to HTMLForm. It's already pretty generic, but if you wanted to make it more so, you'd be making jquery plugins for HTMLForms. Mind you, we need to revamp our JS integration with HTMLForm all round, so this might be a good thing to do in that.
