Re: [whatwg/dom] Allow `MutationObserver` to observe (certain) element property changes (Issue #1340)

LeaVerou left a comment (whatwg/dom#1340)

Yeah unfortunately observing property changes in general has been a longstanding NAK. I wonder if this may be easier to solve by scoping the use cases down. E.g. if most use cases are around form elements, we could have an event for this.

Note that no event currently will pick up changes via JS setting a `.value` property directly.
