Of course, in my previous mail I was actually only referring to 'select' and
'hidden' tags, because other kinds can be manipulated in javascript just
fine.

Also, I think there is a bug with <ucw:input tags that have :type "checkbox"
- browsers do not seem to add a variable to a request for an unchecked
checkbox, causing the :accessor or :writer on such tags to never run when
the box is unchecked.
