My implementation is designed to instantiate subclasses of 
Rose::HTML::Form based on the class name, which would likely also be the 
cache key, hence the difficulty in having multiple instances of the same 
form.

Honestly, the only use case I can actually envision for having the same 
form on a page more than once is maybe displaying a simple search form 
both above and below a set of results, and even then you wouldn't 
actually need two instances of the class, you'd just need to render the 
same object twice. Unless anyone can see a use case I'm missing, I think 
the point is moot, and I will just remove that whole "same form twice" 
concept from the module and be done with it.
