The "represent" attribute is specifically for displaying the values of a given record, whereas the widget is for creating a form input. Although a widget may display a default value (e.g., when editing a record), in most cases you want that to be the actual raw value that goes in the database, not some alternative representation. Sounds like you might have an odd use case.
