So the ability to somehow work with FormData as an object (al least get

(that's missing) would be huge time saver
I agree with this.
I remembered this thread when I read Hixies outburst on #whatwg yesterday:
[10:29] <Hixie> we really still have no way for JS to access the form
data set on submission?
[10:30] <Hixie> who's running this show, a clown?

It seems we're many who want this, and there are clear use cases for it.

FormData need not be tied to XHR either, maybe IndexedDB should also be
able to just take FormData directly? I can see how that could be useful.
Although getting methods for serializing/deserializing FormData would make
it possible to just do the load/save logic on your own.
