Not re accessability I'd say. But the multi-forms thing could help re spam.

As would any converlution of the process. But none of these defend against
human attac. Which is become the spammers weapon of choice.

In which case so could multiple forms. Or indeed a single form.

There is no one perfect solution. And as soon as there is, it'll be gamed
successfuly within a week.. So doing your own thing, is about as safe as
you'll get. Invent your own and you most likely stay ahead of the majority
of bad guys.
