Hello Rails team, and thanks for your amazing work! I would like to create a Pull Request so that form helpers do not add an extra <div> inside the <form> tag.
I looked back in the history of the code, and I found that the <div> was initially added after this discussion of 2006 <https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21searchin/rubyonrails-core/hidden$20method$20tag$20should/rubyonrails-core/o7eHdDT4WPg/0ddlr27rdMoJ> to make forms [x]HTML4 Strict-compliant. Another message from 2007 <https://groups.google.com/forum/#%21searchin/rubyonrails-core/hidden$20field$20and$20wrapping/rubyonrails-core/3TwPS3QBe8g/-CUGT-Ug5a8J> confirmed the reason why behind the <div>. Now it's 2014, and HTML 5 finally allows <form> elements to include <input> elements directly, without a wrapping div. What is your opinion? Should I go on and submit a pull request? Also… how concerned are you about backward compatibility? If you think it's appropriate, I could add a new boolean option to "form_for", "button_to"… so people can decide if they want the <div> or not.
