Log Message:
Get rid of the "cancel" button; a "back to summary" button is enough.
Also, action="" works just as well and doesn't show an annoying "/."

There was a discussion on zpoe3-dev a couple of weeks ago when some 
folks at Zope Corp recalled problems with some browsers when using <form 
action="">.

Here are the messages:

This was prompted by a checkin of mine where I used <form action="">.

I don't think this issue has been resolved yet, and I think that using 
<form action=""> where possible throughout Zope3 would be a good idea, 
provided it does not confuse browsers.

It is certainly neater than <form action="."> or <form action="./"> or
<form tal:attributes="action here/url;view">
