I'd argue that there is more semantic value in a "form" than just the 
fact that it is a landmark. This probably doesn't apply to ARIA (at 
least for now), since role="form" is defined as only a landmark. 
However, I'd argue it does apply to the HTML form tag. So, I'm fine t 
not use IA2_ROLE_FORM for ARIA role="form", but I'm dubious about 
deprecating it altogether, including for the HTML form tag.
