If the form is in session scope and its not a "wizard" style form then it
gives you an opportunity to initialise whatever properties you want to.
Say you had a feedback form where you have a name field, comments field and
priority field - each time you want to show a "new" default form.
You probably want to leave the name field so the user doesn't have to key it
in again - clear the comments field and set the priority to a default e.g.
"low" - you would code in the reset() method to clear the comments and set
the priority.
