Description
The examples in docs/modelforms.txt show instantiation of a form, then jump straight to saving without calling is_valid(). Several times now I've seen people assume that this means is_valid() isn't needed or present on a ModelForm, usually leading to attempts to save unvalidated data. The examples should be fleshed out a bit more to make this clear.

The behaviour changed with model validation, and it is now correctly documented that attempting to save an invalid ModelForm will raise a ValueError.
