Setting the value for defaults

[Jason]

Is there a reason that field.set cannot accept a value argument and field.value cannot be set directly?

When rendering the form I need to set a SelectFieldRenderer to a specific value. This is used as the default when adding a new item. Currently I have subclassed SelectFieldRenderer and in render() it checks to see if a default key was added to metadata. This is a weird shoehorn for something that should be possible already. 

I could submit a patch, but I don't know whether it should allow setting value directly (through field.set(value=bleh) ) or if it should add a new attribute to the field instance called default_value.

You can always set the field value by accessing the model. fs.model.attr = 'foo'

But I have no objection to add a value argument to set()
