To be entirely honest, Gecko has had four bugs filed on issues related to this
in the last 8 years or so. In all cases, the page used innerHTML on the <form>
or the table elements in question and was surprised that the form had no kids or
that setting innerHTML on the <tr> in the following markup:
<table>
<form>
<tr><td></td</tr>
</form>
</table>
did not add the form controls in the new HTML to the form.

P.S. Given that we've had only 4 bug reports, and that none of the sites were
particularly major, we're pretty happy with our current behavior. If someone
has better proposals, of course, we're happy to hear them.
