 Patrons may now fill out a web-based form from within the TPAC to create 
 pending user accounts.  The goal is to make the registration process more 
 efficient by allowing the patron to provide much of the registration 
-details in advance of registering with staff.  Pending user accounts have

-and 'ui.patron.edit.*.example' org unit settings respectively.  The org unit

+The "Request Library Card" link appears as the second default "bottom link"

+user will be tracked as the requesting user for the pending account.
+Additionally, the home org unit and some address fields will be pre-populated
+for convenience (with the assumption that these will likely be the same for
+the pending user -- they can of course be changed).
 
 Pending patron accounts which sit unattended in the database for too long
 are purged via a regularly running (CRON) script.
