Having looked at the source code for the FormTag it appears that there is no
way to use it with an ActionMapping whose path contains a forward-slash
(other than at the start) because everything before the last one is removed
before looking up the ActionMapping. Why is this? It doesn't seem to me to
be the correct thing to do.
