Looks like an omission from HTML5, yeah, if I'm reading it right.  Seems <form accept> was valid in HTML 4.01:

Not sure why it was left out of HTML5, I've never heard of it before.

Status: Accepted
Change Description: see diff given below
Rationale: Concurred with reporter's comments.

It was dropped because nobody implemented it as far as I could tell, and it seemed uninteresting.
