What about the situation where there isn't a button? Implicit
submission still seems to happen on forms which have just a single
element, for example:
http://www.boogdesign.com/examples/forms2/test-validate-1.html
http://www.boogdesign.com/examples/forms2/test-validate-2.html
These both trigger the form validation algorithm in Firefox, Opera &
Chrome if you just hit return. This form with two inputs doesn't
trigger implicit submission:
http://www.boogdesign.com/examples/forms2/test-validate-3.html
But add a submit button and it does:
http://www.boogdesign.com/examples/forms2/test-validate-4.html
Because in 4.10.22.2 everything hinges on the 'default button' this
behaviour doesn't seem to be covered. Is this intentional?
