I have just one form (although it's used for just one transition) and I 
pass it the desired action as a form parameter, i.e. I put in the 
transition URL something like

%(content_url)s/my_action_form?action=newstate

But that's good only if you use the form for just one transition 
(previously selected from the actions box).

I guess you could examine the code that fills the actions box to know 
all possible transitions?

Yes, that would save us from the ugliness of the "zpt macro with all 
descriptions" that I had to resort to.
