Well, depends what you call 'inserted by the visitor'. In this case
I'm prepopulating the form, some fields are not editable, but the user
should submit these values as well.
Guess I have to use onvalidate then to make sure all is ok.

The second remark in my original posting: the 'unique' should somehow
be supported by DAL, or warnings should be submitted that it is
unsupported.
