Through further discussion on public-html-comments[1] I request that this bug
is escalated into the tracker issue process. I recommend that the following two
identified issues are created as separate concerns:

Issue 1:
Enhance http request generation from forms

Forms should be capable of defining and constructing full http request
representations for all methods in order for html to interact with conformant
http services. 

Issue 2: 
Define user agent http response handling behaviour

User agent handling of http responses is currently undefined which has lead to
divergent behaviour[2] through independent interpretation of the http
specification. The expected behaviour should be defined within html to enable
servers to return correct responses per http specification with confidence that
they will be processed uniformly across agents.
