Summary: input name="submit" messing forms up

Initial Comment:
This is a JavaScript issue with HTML code like this one:

<form id="myForm">
  <input type="submit" name="submit" />
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
  myForm = document.myForm;

  alsert(myForm.submit);
</script>

the myForm.submit refers to the input, not the function
that would submit the form. so, myForm.submit() doesn't
really do anything. Instead, it produces hard-to-trace
errors when you have FormComponents with id "submit".
It is a common pitfall that is easy for people with
JavaScript background to evade, but new developers can
have a hard time understanding why
SubmitLink/AjaxSubmitLink doesn't work for them.

I think it will be wonderful, if Wicket doesn't allow
FormComponents named 'submit' and throws a exception
for trying to make one. This isn't fool-proof, since if
the user does <input name="submit" /> without attaching
any wicket component to it, it will still resolve to
the same error. 

Alternatively, the form submitting java script might be
changed, so it does if (typeof form.submit !=
'function')  so it can display a good error message to
the user.
