Forms do not submit values for elements that use the "form" attribute

See original GitHub issue

The form attribute on the following textarea element should mean that the element’s value is submitted when the form is submitted:

<html>
<body>
  <textarea form="myForm" name="data">Some data</textarea>
  <form id="myForm">
    <button type="submit">Submit</button>
  </form>
</body>
</html>

It looks like HtmlForm.getSubmtitableElements() doesn’t look for elements outside the form whose form attributes match the ID of the form, though, so the submitted form contains no data.
