+<p>
+    There's no requirement for models to implement INotifyPropertyChanged, but if they do,
+    you can easily wire that up to the EditContext. Then you have no need to use the built-in
+    Input* components - you can instead bind to regular HTML elements and still get modification
+    notifications. This provides more flexibility in how the UI is rendered, at the cost of
+    more complexity and boilerplate in your model classes.
+</p>
+<p>
+    This example also shows that you don't strictly have to use EditForm. You can manually
+    cascade an EditContext to the components that integrate with it.
