One thing that may be easy to implement (I haven't looked at the Everything code) that would solve the problem of "which" form was submitted would be to have the parameter not named action, but action.UrlEncodedExpectedParamNames.

Then you could sublcass CGI to only read in the params you want in _init by looking at the action.something parameter. Of course, you would have to define the expected params for each form action to differentiate between params that existed in the URL as opposed to being posted. You could probably make better use of this but I think this way would be pretty easy to shoehorn in to the source.
