[Seaside] Newbie question Seaside book.

But removing and adding a copy is not ideal because other places (other
pages in the session even) might be still holding onto the original version.
Object identity is pretty important in an object system.

Certainly making a copy to edit is a fairly common pattern but anytime I've
done it, we would copy the modified values back to the original on save (or
use a read-through proxy instead).
