Well technically they don't need to be visible. They can grab values passed
to it and be hidden as well. I believe Vaughn gave an example of this in

'auto-login' for my users.

Unfortunately visible fields were unacceptable, plus the form is on a
different server. Imail would simply not accept anything other than
