thank you, Shawn, for posting your working and tested example. It
answered my questions (basically the same as the original post on this
thread) and got my head clear.
I agree in general with the point that the Django docs are not really
complete on this issue; I'd like it if the Forms/ModelForms would
throw out a complete CRUD example and explain each bit of it.
