Multiple submits are supported by HTML/2.0. From
<URL:http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/html/rfc1866.txt>:
8.1.2.7. Submit Button: INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT
An <INPUT> element with `TYPE=SUBMIT' represents an input option,
typically a button, that instructs the user agent to submit the form.
Optional attributes are:
NAME
indicates that this element contributes a form field
whose value is given by the VALUE attribute. If the NAME
attribute is not present, this element does not
contribute a form field.
