So the ability to somehow work with FormData as an object (al least
get object out of it, or create it based on object) and the ability
to get FormData from form (that we have) and fill form based on
FormData (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.
FormData can be left tight to XHR, serializing/deserializing should be
enough (actually as long as we are able to manipulate FormData, there is
almost no difference). The only question is, how to
serialize/deserialize Blob.
