That makes sense. I'm not sure why I didn't think of that. I guess I was assuming the <html:link> would take care of the form submission since it was embedded in an <html:form>. So, I've added an onclick attribute to my <html:link> as follows and it worked just fine:
<html:link onclick="document.forms[0].submit();" href="#" name="deleteNotesLink">delete</html:link> Voila! (It's the French Open this week.)

Otherwise, jjust clicking the link will not submit the form.
