[Seaside-dev] nested form handling

[David Mitchell]

I used to work on Web projects with IBM VisualAge for Smalltalk and
their AbtHtmlForm component supported arbitrary nesting.

I seem to recall only the outermost form rendered. The others just
disappeared. It didn't do the DIV replacement, but that sounds like a
nice enhancement.
