Something on the order of: "When a tree containing a form-associated element and its form owner changes such that they are no longer in the same tree, reset the form owner of that element" This is to handle the case where the parser has caused a form control to be owned by a form which is not an ancestor. When that non-ancestor form is removed from the document, the form owner ought to be reset. It's not currently in WebKit (though after a GC it _is_ reset), but is in Firefox and Opera. Test case attached. 70133 1 contributor 2012-07-18 06:58:12 +0000 This bug was cloned to create bug 17831 as part of operation convergence. 75148 2 eoconnor 2012-10-02 23:20:59 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
