In staring at the code and mulling over various ideas I've come up
with the following pattern to try. David, would this be the recommend
way to do try and implement this behavior within the intended usage
of Form?

def get_form(self):
         form = Form()
        form.add's...
        return form

def some_url [html] (self):

         form = self.get_form()

         if form.is_submitted() and not form.has_errors():
             doit(form.get's...)

         header()
         form = self.get_form()
         form.render()
         footer()

If I'm understanding the usage correctly, render will not load values
from the request unless the form has been touched by is_submitted or
has_errors?
