> It took me a while looking through the code to figure out that the "raw" input isn't really the raw input.  The *real* raw input is what comes from the getInputAsArray method.  rawInput seems to be a kind of holding place for the form-submitted value that, if present, overrides the value in the model, so that the form can re-display the user's input even if it failed validation or conversion and therefore cannot be stored in the model.  It's really a tentative or proposed value.
> Also, some more comments about what exactly NO_RAW_VALUE indicates would be helpful.  It seems to indicate that the form-submitted value has been cleared and that getValue should return the value from the model.  If you change the "raw" input to something else, then maybe this can be called USE_MODEL_VALUE or something like that instead.
