You can't "overlap" tag regions. It's not valid XML. At the least, you'd have
to have two complete "html:form" elements, including all of their contents,
each in either the "notEqual" or "equal" case.
However, if the contents of the two forms are identical, except for needing
focus in one field in one case, then you might consider having a single form,
but using a runtime value for the "focus" attribute (note the javadoc shows an
RT value for this is legal). Use an expression which evaluates to "longName"
in the "equal" case, and equal to "" in the "notEqual" case. I would assume a
"focus" value of an empty string would essentially be a noop (untested).
