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.
