Sure, but I can still point to cases where you need to manual pre-populate. For example, if you have multiple forms on a single JSP page, you either need to prepopulate the forms manually, or you'd have to daisy-chain a bunch of actions together, each one of which was responsible for pre-populating a single form. This seems clumsy to me. Maybe what we need is an authoritative way (i.e., an API) to instantiate DynaForms.
