There is no apparent technical reason why <FORM> can't allow anything 
in it and appear inside anything.

Putting input elements inline could be accomplished just be inserting 
them, I don't think they have to be in a FORM.  Using some sort of 
script attached to their associated response functrions could make 
that entry do something.
Worst case scenario put the <FORM> very high in the order and have 
almost the entire document as a form.
