Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: 

Thank you, that was perfect.

Here's a live DOM viewer version of this test for those following along at
home:
http://software.hixie.ch/utilities/js/live-dom-viewer/saved/1267

Looks like Gecko, IE, Opera, and the spec all agree. WebKit seems to be the
lone dissenter; WebKit also submits the value attribute's contents as
name=value.

I don't really see a good use case. Compatibility doesn't seem like a
compelling reason here since no major sites have been brought to light that
suffer from this, and only one report has come up at all (for an Intranet
site). The authoring issue is easily resolved, either on the HTML side or the
server side, so there's not a compelling argument to be made for authoring
convenience here either.

In conclusion, I think the spec is fine as is here.
