Description:
------------
When adding a filter for my form I've noticed that the applyFilter function filters automatically the values and puts them into the submitted values array:

foreach ($element as $elName) {
$value = $this->getSubmitValue($elName);
if (null !== $value) {
if (false === strpos($elName, '[')) {
$this->_submitValues[$elName] = $this->_recursiveFilter($filter, $value);
} else {
$idx = "['" . str_replace(array(']', '['), array('', "']['"), $elName) . "']";
eval("\$this->_submitValues{$idx} = \$this->_recursiveFilter(\$filter, \$value);");
}
}
}

I find this very annoying since if I use any default variables they seem to end up in the _submitValues array resulting in that when I do a validate() it won't detect properly that the form hasn't been submitted.

My suggestion is that either submitValues is checked for bugs when using grouped elements, applyFilter is changed or an isFormSubmitted() action is added.

Reproduce code:
---------------
My code goes as:
/**
* Function for checkin a date that has been inputted
* and changing it to a YYYY-MM-DD format. If an invalid
* date was supplied then the function returns false.
*
* @access public
* @return string If false it will return boolean FALSE
**/

$form->addGroup($date, 'date', '<a name="date">Datum:</a>');

'startDate' => array(array('Ogiltigt första datum angivet.',
'callback', 'ValidateDate'),

$form->addFormRule('ValidateOrder');
$form->applyFilter("date", 'FilterDate');

// Tries to validate the form
if ($form->validate()) {
die("This is validated");
}

print($form->toHTML());

Expected result:
----------------
The form should be outputted without going through the validatoin process.

Actual result:
--------------
I get that one of the dates are not properly validated. This is absurd since I haven't submitted the form! When removing the applyFilter this issue disappears.
