Hi James,
One thing that always helps me in these kinds of scenarios is to go to http://validator.w3.org and run the page's "view source" code through the HTML validator. This can quickly answer the question of whether <form> is allowed inside a table; it will validate any other HTML issues on the page too and if none then it at least passes WCAG 2.0 success criteria 4.1.1.
For the checkboxes and submit, it seems okay to me as long as the sets of checkboxes are in fieldsets (ie. <fieldset> <legend>) and labelled properly, etc. See example 2: http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H71.html
I hope this helps a bit.
-Rob.

Subject: [WebAIM] Mutliple unrelated forms and one submit button
Hello All,
I'm looking at a page that has two unrelated sets of check boxes and one submit button at the bottom of the page. There is text content separating the groups. It seems to me this should be compliant, but I'm not finding much on the web about. I'd appreciate any thoughts this group might have or point me to a relevant web page.
Another issue is that the forms are in tables, but fortunately I have found some discussions about that aspect.
Thanks,
James
