I should use a hidden identical field and use form="CRTP_Query":

But I have no idea how to populate the hidden field with the data from
the viewable field. PHP cannot do this onsubmit, can it?
Anyone have an example to show me please?
Do I need to use jquery?
no.

I assume that you really, really need to have multiple forms here?
Different targets? Otherwise, why the two forms?
Realizing that you are using html 5 syntax here, and that html5 is not
supported fully on many browsers (that you may have to support), you are
going to have to use some javascript to grab the input from elements
outside your form and populate the hidden ones inside your form. Not a
difficult thing.
In your onsubmit handler, simply do
document.getElementById(fld1_hidden).value =
document.getElementById(fld1).value;

My understanding is that the new form attribute on input lets you put
an input tag *outside* any forms, and use the form= attribute to
indicate which form it should go with. I think this may be more useful
for mobile web apps than desktop browser apps. It doesn't let you copy
a form element from one form to another.
If you have multiple forms on one page, and want to submit data that
is placed in one form with another one, you will have to do that with
JS/jQeury. I don't have a ready example, but the basic concept is:
* capture the form submit using an onclick
* which calls a function that can gather up all the information from
the other forms, and
* build hidden form elements on the fly for the form you want to submit, and
* then programmatically perform the submit
This seems interesting enough that I might do up a tutorial on it when
I have some time. Maybe Tedd already has one?

That's a different take than I thought it meant (the docs that is).
Makes sense tho, if true. I thought from reading "one or more forms" in
the docs I've seen, that it meant "allowing the input to be included in
*all* of the forms mentioned in the attrib.
Something that should be tested by our OP here.
Of course the real problem is html 5 support.

No, but javascript can.

Did some testing with a form.
Tried it with IE9, Chrome 25.0.xxx and Safari 5.7.1
Mixed results - good and bad
IE - forget it. The new form attrib does not work.
Chrome - only works if the input element is in the form but has NO form
attrib OR if it is NOT in the form and has only ONE form attrib value
Can't use an input element in multiple forms.
Safari - works kinda like I expected originally!! Depending upon where
the elements are declared with regards to the forms themselves, you get
different sets of values captured from the submits. Some multiple form
designations work, some don't and it's way to complicated to explain
here. I tried to do it and failed miserably. But - Safari works a lot
more like the docs say it should, but still not completely.
Of course - in the real world where currently it's Chrome and IE, these
new features are not very useful since you can't include an input
element in multiple forms which from the docs one would think could be done.
