I would think that error is almost vanishingly rare.  About the only 
time most codes will set the parameter is when they are explicitly 
setting it to the multipart form data value, in order to allow 
submission of files.  The default covers most other cases and most 
coders cut and paste and only look at parameters and values when things 
don't work the way they want.

I can only imagine that the error was the result of actually looking at 
the list of parameters and trying to se values for them all.  This is 
just not the way the average "web designer" works.
