[Zope] tables in DTML methods interpreted with fmt=structured-text

[Andreas Jung]

The <form>...</form> tag around the table causes STX to 
treat the content between the tags as normal text and not
as structured text. I suggest to remove the <form> and </form>
tags from the document and put them outside the document.
