To see what should be submitted, you should look in the form submission 
section:

   http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/association-of-controls-and-forms.html#concept-form-submit

Specifically, under "Constructing the form data set".

I didn't want people to try setting readonly on a fieldset and forgetting 
that readonly only affects a few controls and not, e.g., buttons.
