I just joined this mailing list and realize that this is an older topic, but I don't think the
form problem is due to a bug in OmniWeb at all, but instead due to sloppy html at
HotWired. BLOCKQUOTE can have a SUBMIT button inside, and PRE blocks can
be inside forms. The problem with the HotWired form is that the BLOCKQUOTE
and FORM tags are overlapping like:
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<FORM>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
</FORM>
