Able to lower skill value of previously purchased skill in skills windows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Purchase any level of any skill. Press Enter to apply the change.
2. Re-enter the skills window.  Lower the skill level with the "-" key.
3. Notice the xp are "lost", not reimbursed.  If you exit with the esc key, no 
changes are applied and thus you are not shorted xp.  If you hit enter... the 
changes are applied and the xp is "lost" forever.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Shouldnt be able to lower manually below the "previously purchased" level 
before entering the skills screen.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.0.1.169 on windows 7

Please provide any additional information below.

This is behaving as intended.  The screen displays the permanently lowered 
skill in purple to make it clear what is going on.  Perhaps I could add a 
warning message on accept.

Is there an reason that a player might want to lower a purchased skill?  Higher 
score perhaps?  One inconsistency which might arise from such a case is with 
the forging skills, where the benefit is not from the skill itself, but of 
course from the created items (which I'm assuming don't disappear).

A player might choose to drop magic or burglary.  They can have some negative 
effects.  The other common reason is to reshuffle under the power 100 cap.  If 
it becomes an issue, I prevent reduction in crafting skills.
