The gist of the idea (which I believe may have been brought up before

the form element action attribute, and to use form elements to provide
the replacement values, e.g.
<form template="http://example.org{-prefix|/|foo}?bar={bar}"
method="POST">
Foo: <input name="foo" type="input" >
Bar: <input name="bar" type="input">
</form>
What's the backward-compatibility story of this feature? (Both behavior
of URI templates in legacy browsers and ensuring that existing content
doesn't use braces.)
Braces are not allowed in URIs (in case somebody forgot :-). That's
exactly why URI Templates can use them.
