There are two examples of a text input with initial value of "Hello!" on this page, a controlled and an uncontrolled. The explanation for the uncontrolled version mistakenly says it works much like the earlier "uncontrolled" example, but the earlier example was the controlled version.
The Default Value section in the forms docs says "This example will function much like the Controlled Components example above."
The example actually functions like the Uncontrolled Components example, not the Controlled Components example.
I came across an issue on a React project where I needed to programatically set the default value of an input as the result of an async call. (I was prepopulating a zip code field from the Google Maps Geocoding API). It didn't work when I passed in an updated defaultValue prop, until I came across this StackOverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30146105/react-input-defaultvalue-doesnt-update-with-state. I was able to get it to do what I wanted by passing in the value prop instead.
The current documentation states that the `<select>` tag supports `defaultChecked`, but it actually doesn't. I believe this documentation was meant to be written in the proposed order.
