That is where the form's initial data comes from. When you create a form with just the POST dictionary and no instance parameter, every supplied field in the data dictionary appears to have changed since there is no initial data. Using the instance parameter is the POST leg also allows you to simply save() the form to get the changes to the instance saved. There is then no need to individually copy each of the fields from the form's cleaned_data dict to the model instance.
