[support] HTML forms not Drupal's Forms API -- Badness Explanation Needed

[Shai Gluskin]

Gang,

I've red-flagged for a potential client (abandoned by former Drupal
developer) an event registration page on their site that uses an html form
to deliver some variables to a Paypal page. Looks like the code came from a
Paypal help page.

I'm proposing using a combination of the signup and signup_pay modules to
handle this functionality. I'd like to give the client a little more detail
on why it is bad to use regular html forms in addition to "It's more
stable," or "it's the Drupal way." On the "It's more stable" argument, I
need some more detail on why and what are some bad things that can.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Shai
