This was my reasoning too.

I'm not a big fan of 'createFormData' as to me it doesn't sound like
it'll also populate the FormData with the current values. Possibly due
to the similarity with 'createElement'. 'extractFormData' sounds ok
though, though i think 'getFormData' is nicer due to its shorter name.
