I don't believe this is necessary in the first place. Why are you giving someone the ability to edit the form that shouldn't be? That's the first issue I see. Secondly, why are you passing values to be saved if you don't want them overwritten? That's the 2nd issue. Thirdly, why are you even rendering them as form elements rather than simple text within a paragraph tag instead? That'd be the third issue I see.
Although you are accomplishing what you want to do, I don't believe you should be trying to do it in the first place as a more elegant (albeit possibly more difficult to grasp?) solution is available.
