That's standard, expected functionality. When an even slightly clueful
user presses the enter key in a form, they want to submit it. Don't make
that more difficult.

If people submitting the form prematurely is an issue, add a validator
which redisplays the form with an error message, pre-filled with
whatever data the user has entered already, when the submission is
incomplete.
