Ben, you would need to select elements starting the search from a context node which is not actually possible with simple $$() (but there maybe another way I don't actually know).
If you go the DOM way (getElementById and then getElementsByTagName) all form elements have a "form" property which is a back reference to the owning form if present. Another property you may find useful is the "type" property also available on all form elements. Checking one of these property in a loop over the elements will be enough. I am quite confident this will be possible shortly by using the existing $$() method.
