In /settings, there are actually two forms, one for the top part and one for the bottom.

But from a functional and semantic perspective this breaks things. The user isn't expecting to submit the top with one button and the bottom with a different button. We could hack around this problem with javascript but this would be an excessively complex solution compared to just fixing the markup to reflect the reality that there should only be one form.

I'm confused. There are not two forms here. Only one. I see only one set of
save|cancel buttons.

Not if you look in the markup. That's exactly the point.

In the markup there is

, but only one [save]
button.

Actually, don't worry about it. I can fix this.

Reassigning to myself.
