I think you want:

<form action="renumberTheCart(here/CheckOutAfterEditStuff)"  
method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<td>
<form action=http://example.com/s/renumberTheCart" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="doc" value="" tal:attributes="value here/ 
CheckOutAfterEditStuff" />
<p metal:use-macro="here/CheckOutAfterEditStuff/macros/main" />
</td>

(my tal may be a bit off)
