The doc is now more explicit.  I also submitted #8381 [1] proposing a 
null result for unknown IDs, or IDs of unsupported elements.

Is Form.Element.setValue going to added to next version of Prototype?

$F('name', value) would be very slick.

It would make sense for a 'getter' to have a corresponding 'setter'.

Yes. The implementation and unit tests are in place in the form branch. But,
we only announce things when they land in the trunk.

Those who like $F (like me) will continue to use it even when it's removed -
especially the new $F with setter capabilities in the form branch [*]:

  $F('name', 'Mislav')

Michael, Christophe already fixed the docs. I updated them after that to be
less scary (all those warnings and exclamations made it sound like something
dangerous is happening here) and more helpful:
http://prototypejs.org/api/form/element/getValue

We may even install bomb prevention following the Michael's suggestion.
Anyone sees a problem with this? Should the bomb better be left armed so not
to confuse users when debugging an error in their code?

There are rumors of a probable deprecation of $F... So use $
(element).getValue() instead.
