Nice work. I made a few small changes and rephrased the first paragraph to be even more specific. Maybe it could be tweaked a little more, but I think this sums it up better now:
"In Wicket, a model holds a value for a component to display and/or edit. How exactly this value is held is determined by a given model's implementation of the wicket.model.IModel interface. This interface decouples a component from the data which forms its value. This in turn decouples the whole Wicket framework from any and all details of model storage, such as the details of a given persistence technology. As far as Wicket itself is concerned, a model is anything that implements the IModel interface, no matter how it might do that." It does feel like this is the best place to show the IModel interface since readers will be wondering what it looks like already. It sounds scarier than it is, so why delay?
