I use the same message type for all SUBMITs, but the body of the message 
contains a unique id for each button.

When the server constructs the form, it assigns a unique id to each widget, 
and includes this id in the form definition it sends to the client. 
Therefore the server and client can unambiguously reference specific 
widgets, and there is no real danger of getting out of sync.
