In implementing the form submit feature for HTML I (first) made use of
the ElementIterator class. There have been a couple of problems. Most
importantly, the iteration seemed to go beyong the root element upwards
in the element tree.
I found the implementation a little hard to grok and then a little
fragile. I have changed it a little to keep the state together with the
elements on a Stack and fixed my problems while doing so.
