True, but aren't I still looking at the full set of form data rather
than just record data? For instance, we have a need where one might be
checking items from a long list of checkboxes. In 'view' mode, we'd
only want the items that were checked to be displayed.

I could modify the disable check box list via javascript and
selectively remove items from it but that seems to be adding a
different level of complexity in terms of making sure it's accessible.
