what about simple type conversion? How will you ever have non-string
coming from html? Does this mean we are back to domain object with
only strings?

That's backwards. You were testing an int with a
String test and it failed *because* it wasn't viewing
everything as a string.

So create a Zipcode datatype that allows for +4, use a
regex or type-specific validator and a converter, and
you have your "rich" domain model. Putting a zipcode
in an integer is not a good idea, even if it *is* just
for the US.
