Replying to [comment:6 brosner]:
> Ok. I have thought this through and got input from Joseph. We have
concluded, don't do this. It is expected that all forms are present in the
POST data regardless. If you are using Javascript to provide some
interface where the user can add/remove extra/initial data forms then you
need to properly ensure the ones removed are properly marked for deletion
via ```choices-N-DELETE```. I will leave this open for the pending
documentation change indicating this.
I absolutely agree. But missing forms should be threated as not valid,
because even form variables aren't sended. See it in James code:
[{'votes': 100, 'choice': u'Calexico'}, {}, {}]
That's where problem is. It's probably not clear in James Chua
description. To more clear see my 8th comment comment:8
