In the current code, that particular value isn't easily available, no,
and that is probably an omission we should fix.
That particular value comes from one of three sources. In order of
highest priority to lowest, they are:
(1) Data submitted to the form (for redisplaying submitted data
for errors).
(2) Initial data provided to the form class
(3) Initial data provided to the field class (when it was
created as part of the form).
The code does a semi-complex dance to pull out the right value and it's
not something you can really emulate at the template level. That's
something worth adding for Django 1.1.
