Apparently <progress> element is "form-associated" just because of label,
but what useful feature does the .form attribute bring in?
<progress> isn't submittable, nor resettable, and not even
"listed element", so it doesn't show up in form.elements.
There is just .form in the progress element, but from that .form you can't
even get back to progress.
Quite strange.


<meter> has similar problem.
