Re: [WICG/webcomponents] Reference Target: Should the `form` and `list` JavaScript attributes return the host element? (Issue #1072)

I am coming around to see it this way too. It's a potentially breaking change either way (though only for sites that opt-in to using reference target), but returning the host provides more useful information, especially since https://github.com/WICG/webcomponents/issues/1071 seems to have reached a conclusion that an invalid reference target should return null. So checking if `form`/`list` are null would let devs determine whether the reference target points to a valid target or not.
