But I am not sure if this is correct or not. That is all.
Yes, I'm +1. Or +10, +100 and even +1000 :-)
This issue has raised a number of questions from users seeing some fields unexpectedly loosing their values, and has been discussed at length.
The only visible change, as stated by Tim, is the need for boolean fields to be accompanied by a "presence notifier" input, whose purpose is to indicate that a boolean field is present in the form. This is required to circumvent the fact that HTML sends nothing for an unchecked checkbox, and therefore doesn't allow to know if the chekbox is present but unchecked, or is absent in the page.
This has absolutely no impact on the fact that only widgets present in the form read request parameters, and that therefore no one can input value that doesn't match a widget.
Exactly, I see no possible negative consequences besides the additional "presence notifiers" as Sylvain called them.
So +1 from here too.
