Comment:
Please review the following: "4. If form is already being submitted...".
Probably it would be better to introduce a "form's being-submitted" flag and
set it to "true" between steps 6 and 7, then change item 4 to "If the form's
being-submitted flag is set ... ".  Rationale: if we attempt to implement item
4 as described now, any event handler that calls "form.submit()" in response
to "submit" event will not make it to the actual submission (which is after
step 7), but instead will stop at item 4 (because the form would have already
been being submitted whenever such event handler calls "form.submit()").
