So I suggest we add a method like
interface HTMLFormElement : HTMLElement {

FormData getFormData();

};
Should we name it toFormData() instead for consistency with
<canvas>? Or is
<canvas> inconsistent with something else?
There are much more functions that are named "getX" than "toX" in the
DOM. Such as getElementById, getElementsByTagName,
getBoundingClientRect.
I agree. toFoo implies a mere conversion. But getting the FormData is
not just a type conversion.
However, I also think 0-argument getters are a bad pattern in
JavaScript. Why not just use an attribute?
interface HTMLFormElement : HTMLElement {
...
readonly attribute FormData formData;
...
};
