Well, I figured, since no one replied to my first email, why not get
dramatic and see what happens? :)

Right, and this does work, but it requires having a separate action
leading to every form.  Which isn't such a huge inconvenience, really,
just more code.

More importantly (and getting back to my original question), it means
that when using a dyna form, you can't use the initial attribute for
properties.  You have to write code to set them to the default value in
that separate action (and thus separating the form from the logic).

Thanks very much for your help,
