Oliver Block:
does anybody no, which the default action is (if no action attribute value
is assigned).
I didn't find anything in the TR yet.
All you'd find there is that the value of the action attr. is a URL
('URI' in the spec, 'URI-reference' in RFC3986, call it what you like).
A string of length zero where a URL is expected is an empty relative
reference. RFC3986 is less explicit than its predecessor, but in
theory an empty FORM action is a reference to the base URL. In
practice, I don't think you'll find a browser that interprets it this
way, other than in the (usual) case where the base URL happens to have
been established from the Request-URI.
