Judges’ Pick

Forms are complicated. They can have multiple issues, depending on how to structure them. My want consists of the following:

In addition, I’d like to see easier, less error prone ways to define a form field:

<formfield type="text"
value=""
label="Your Name"
name="name">

would create a properly labeled text field. No need for developers to create IDs, no opportunity for typos. And if a browser doen’t support it yet, it’s relatively easy to polyfill, too.
