Hi, I've submitted a proposal to w3c issue 195 which stems from requests to provide support for additional HTTP methods on forms with specific reference to clients without scripting support. The proposal is based on extending the functionality of forms by exposing the abilities of XHR to declarative markup. I'm keen to highlight the issue to solicit review and feedback on the proposal, and to harvest some degree of the level of interest from browser vendors as to the desirability of implementing the proposal. The proposal itself includes the rationale and details pertaining to the changes. There has been some initial feedback on public-html however i am yet to update the proposal with the recommendations. These amount to: * Implement method attribute values as a blacklist instead of a whitelist * Exclude CONNECT and TRACK methods in addition to TRACE as blacklisted items for synchronicity with XHR specification * Remove "_none" payload attribute state and replace functionality with "disabled" attribute and state * Look at replacing "_async_" form control field as a form submit element attribute for form, button & input retargeting.
