Forms cannot be nested, and further what would you expect to happen in your
hypothetical form when the user submits? The request could not go to two
separate "action" URLs at the same time anyway.

What are you trying to accomplish? There are various techniques available,
such as JavaScript that changes the form's action dynamically, or
server-side techniques to branch upon receipt of post.
