Why not just use javascript to set the field assigned to 
'delete_if_true'? Make it a hidden field and submit it with the 
form. And the javascript doesn't have to delete the row, just 
set it to display:none; and set the delete_if_true field.

That way seems easier (& safer?) than changing HTML::FF model behaviour.

What if second user adds a row/record while first user has page 
open (row doesn't exist). First user submits form, which doesn't 
have the newly added row so the new row gets deleted. I doubt 
that is intended result.

My AU$0.03.
