Right.  And I'm suggesting that if it works in 80% of the cases,
can we just teach Seaside to do that out of the box, along with a
warning in the WAFormBrush docs?

And I agree, I'd like to naively put a form around the outside of my entire
page, but then I can't create reusable components, because I'd have to have
two versions or require the invoker to always call it with a wrapper form,
which is inconvenient if they're in a callback rather than a rendering phase.

I'd settle for the WAFormBrush making it testable as to whether I'm in a form
already or not.  Can you make "html currentForm" return some form object or
nil?  Then my child components could test it and generate their own form if
not within one already.
