Summary: The "form" content attribute on <label> elements no longer
means anything. .form returns the .form of the labeled control, or null
if nothing is labeled or the labeled thing has no .form. In particular,
you can no longer associate a label with one form but associate its
labeled control with a different form.
Bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1268852
Spec: https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/1120 and
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#the-label-element and
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#dom-label-form
Estimated release: 49
devtools bug: none needed, I think.
Support in other browsers: Chrome is planning to do this. See
<https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/d/msg/blink-dev/QWyCpJjgfY8/TOxG9n-OAQAJ>.
According to that message, Edge and WebKit don't support the "form"
content attribute on <label> anyway; .form always returns the ancestor
form in those engines.
