Daniel,
You provided an excellent explanation. Everything makes sense now.
This was definitely the link I was missing.
It took me less than 10 minutes to verify and confirm what you explained. 
Everything works fine now.
(Actually, as you just proved, it was working fine before. I just didn't know 
about it. :-)
I still need some fiddling around the controller-model-parameter threesome so 
that I can be in charge of what parameter name will be assigned to the form 
fields, as at this moment these names are auto-generated. But I am on the right 
track, and back to the state where I believe I can make some progress on my own.
(Of course it doesn't necessarily mean that I really can, but at least I 
believe I can. And that feeling is the whole point!)

I very much appreciate your quick and detailed reply!
It gave me exactly what I needed.
Thank you!

Best Regards,
