Is it possible to define "form controls" here?	You've got the Categories
section earlier in 4.10, but that doesn't define the term either.  If there is
not a single set of elements to which the following subsections apply, could
you note that and just say that they apply to any form-associated element that
defines the corresponding content attribute?
