Ive been playing with Formencode and quixote. So far it generates the
register form and does all the error handling. Everythin works as expected
and is well thought out. I then started to work on getting defaults to
populate the form when there are some errors. Defaults work as expected with
normal schemas. However, I'm having a problem with defaults with nexted
schemas. Register is the example that ships with FormEncode. Defaults don't
seem to work for anything that comes under the StreetAddress class.

Here's my example code so far. I'm having some problems with it working with
defaults for nested schemas. I'm including and example class and form for
registering a user. The problems I'm having so far are:

1. The defaults work for all fields except for those which are nested int he
address class
2. When I pass the request object as http_request I get the following
exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):
