This is only relevant for UAs which don't care if forms are usable, which is most of them. If forms are expected to work in the first place, then there needs to be an implicit submit mechanism. Every browser I'm aware of has one, and lots of pages depend on this, so it seems like this should be required somewhere (even if it's conditional upon something like "if user form entry is supported"). -- Glenn Maynard
