The list_detail is fundamentally different from create/update - the
former is just used for displaying a set of objects (which might have
additional filters), but the create/update views need a model class
since they will be creating/changing instances of that class.
The way I had anticipated using the queryset parameter was:
info_dict = {'queryset' : MyModel.objects.all() }
... so you don't have to import QuerySet.

You can pass 'allow_empty=True' to get the behaviour you want. I think
personally that should be the default -- IIRC there is a ticket about
this.
