Are you sure this doesn't break web pages? What do UAs do here? What
did they use to do?
It's strange for elements to linger around forever in the past names map after
the element get associated with a new form element.
I agree, though it's an obvious consequence of certain past
implementation strategies.
Since IE didn't support form attribute for a long time (or maybe still
hasn't?), I don't think there is any compatibility concern.
I'm not sure what this sentence is saying.
form.foo works in IE last I checked. So what are you saying IE didn't
or doesn't support?
