Why on earth is_valid() should work for unbound forms? It's meaningless to do that, and that exception was made for purpose.

Anonymous users shouldn't be closing tickets.

Duplicate of #4867. It may seem meaningless to call is_valid on an unbound form, but that's how Form behaves. Consistency wins here. If anyone wants to argue that both situations should raise something like an UnboundError, please bring it up on django-dev.
