As Ron points out, it is called immediately before the property setters that
correspond to the request parameters in your form are called.
A primary reason this method exists is to deal with checkboxes. Due to
restrictions of the way HTML forms work, you will receive notification if a
checkbox is checked, but *not* if it is unchecked. To make sure that your
checkboxes are recorded accurately, you should set the corresponding boolean
property to null in the reset() method.
