Depends. I probably should have been more explicit. _IF_ you've already done
any data validation you need to do to enter your data in the database, and
you've already successfully entered the data into the database, I'm assuming
your form data is accurate. If so, then it's not bad form to use the form
scope data further down.
However, if you're doing a bunch of data validation that would potentially
be altering data in the form scope, then you should use whatever scope you
end up with - i.e. variables. or a specific structure or whatever.
