The code you've quoted has no impact on whether or not the <html:form> tag's
"action" attribute is an rtexpr. Look at struts-html.tld:
<tag>
<name>form</name>
<tagclass>org.apache.struts.taglib.html.FormTag</tagclass>
<bodycontent>JSP</bodycontent>
<attribute>
<name>action</name>
<required>true</required>
<rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
</attribute>
