Comment 1 Boris Zbarsky 2013-12-23 20:41:59 UTC 
In particular, for the form and fieldset cases it says:

  elements that themselves are candidates for constraint validation but do not
  satisfy their constraints

when it should say:

  elements that themselves are candidates for constraint validation and that
  satisfy their constraints
Comment 2 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2014-01-02 20:35:18 UTC 
Why?

The point is to make <form>'s match :valid if they don't contain invalid controls, not to make them :valid if they have any valid controls.

Consider for example an empty <form>. It should be :valid.
Comment 3 Boris Zbarsky 2014-01-02 20:56:31 UTC 
Oh, I missed the "not" before "the form owner".  Sorry.  :(
