+<%-- Custom form for adding a new Individual from the siteAdmin page.
+
+This form is not associated with an object property, it is reached because the 
+html:form on dataInput.jsp has an input element like:
+ <input type="hidden" name="editForm" value="newIndividualForm.jsp"/>
+ 
+This form is intended to only do the addition of an individual.  It is not configured with sparql 
+for existing so it cannot handle an update.   It will not have a subject, predicate or object 
+parameter set up by editRequestDispatch.
