Ignore what VK had to say on the subject. He mistakenly referred to
your `form' elements. It seems to me that you took that as a reference
to the `input' elements since your forms are not named the same.

There is nothing wrong in naming form controls the same, not even if
they have the same parent `form' element; the element objects will
be properly represented in a HTMLCollection. However, it complicates
accessing the respective element objects via the DOM if the parent
`form' element is the same; so in this case, iff(!) not needed, it
should be avoided.
