This has been suggested before, and even made it into the spec at one point, but got removed because there didn't seem to be a way to do this in a backwards-compatible manner. There was also the suggestion of a new element to use for this case, but that appeared late enough that it's being pushed to "v2" for the moment - html5 already makes a *ton* of changes and additions to forms. ^_^ ~TJ
