Just to add more analysis
Opera - Does Implicit submission in following cases -
* One text field
* One text field with one visible submit button
* One text field with one display:none submit button
* Two text fields with one visible submit button
* Two text fields with one visibility:hidden submit button
* Two text fields with one display:none submit button

Only in following case it does not -
* Two text fields

> Given the market share of Trident and WebKit combined, I'm more inclined to prefer the former option.

Considering Increasing share of Firefox (more than 40%) and decreasing share of IE (less than 25%) & also for Mobiles & Tablets there is Opera Mini which is increasing in use. IMHO we can match compliance with FF & Opera & also the specs which clearly allows to implicitly submit without respecting visibility/display of submit button.
