There's no link to the "content attribute of the same name", but https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#attr-fs-action does define it as a URL. FWIW, the "except that on getting, when the content attribute is missing or its value is the empty string, the document's address must be returned instead" bit isn't implemented in Blink. It would be very nice with a WebIDL extended attribute for reflection and the kinds of reflection. Resolving as invalid in any event.
