Ack, I *really* *really* want to be able to submit on multiple field entries.
For example, im trying to build a form for my interactive weather map (for
which now you entry a semi-cryptic "isindex" query).  There are two basic
options, Show a station report, or show a surface map or both.  However, if the
user is requesting show a surface map, they have to fill out a bunch more
information.  I dont want to have to have a full page of "fill this out only if
your are requesting the surface map".  It'd be SO much nicer that when they
click on the "Show surface map" radio button, the form re-appears, this time
with all the additional information that is needed.

Who do I have to appease to get this?  What offerings to the gods must I
make? :)
