Nope. It's a bit tricky, though. The problem is that HTML forms do not send *anything* for a checkbox that you don't check. So missing data for a checkbox field means it wasn't checked and is, therefore, False. We tried making it None for a while, but this was more confusing than not (you'd never get back False, for a start), so we switched to treating it as False. Malcolm -- I just got lost in thought.
