First of all, thanks for fixing the related bug.

Back to your question:

No, don't think form hashes will work in our case:

In our web-applications (used on a large number of servers), we use hidden
fields combined with cookie states and javascript states to efficiently protect
forms against spambots.

So typically, the same form re-displayed will have different hidden field
values, and auto-fill-in restore from saved state is useful when hitting back
button. But if you do DOM hash of form, it will be different. Same for the
captcha image where applicable.

So implementing hashing the DOM of FORM will break the extremely useful form
restoration on the back button.

That's if I understand right what you mean by that.

But I might have understood wrongly what you meant by form hash...
