I vote (if im allowed) not to allow nested forms at all as they are not HTML compliant.
I *love* a pissing contest :-) I did some research on nesting forms (which is quite interesting though, seaside has had similar discussions), and discovered that in XHTML, nesting forms is valid [1]. The following document validates perfectly: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title>Title</title> </head> <body> <form action="http://example.org" method="post"> <div> <form action="http://example.org" method="post"> </form> </div> </form> </body> </html> Now this doesn't imply that nesting HTML form /tags/ is a good idea, supported by browsers or something we should try to do. Nesting form /components/ is another matter, and another email message.
