Actually, you can use the Bobo ":method" type.  It's
documented...somewhere :).

You can do:

<input type="submit" name="mthDelete:method" value="delete">
<input type="submit" name="mthModify:method" value="modify">

and the Publisher will add the selected method to the end of the path.
Make your form action be &dtml-URL1; or "./"

There's a default_method type too, I think you *might* see it in action
on the "Rename" form in the Zope management screens.
