[Seaside-dev] nested form handling

Can the form tag be made smarter so that if it is used within an outer form,
it just turns into a div?  I'm thinking that I would like to be able to
include arbitrary components inside my components that have forms, and if the
"nested form prevention" was built into the form tag, I wouldn't have to
override to built it myself. :)

It needs to be a div (or maybe span - is a form tag normally block or inline?)
because it has to be able to be id'ed and class'ed like a normal form.  The
only thing this would break is anyone who thought that only a portion of
values would be submitted, or anyone who is literally calling "form" in their
styles as opposed to a class or id.
