Description
According to https://github.com/ampproject/worker-dom/blob/master/web_compat_table.md
HTMLFormElement.submit() is not yet supported.
Would be great to add support for that, this way we could do things like:
```
window.setInterval( () => {
document.getElementyById('my-form').submit();
}, 3000 );
```
And if that `amp-form` is a GET form you have the possibility of getting data coming back from server every X seconds.

Thanks in advance.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reading web_compat_table.md and locating the HTMLFormElement implementation and its existing form behavior. Trace how form submission is represented in the worker DOM, then define completion as HTMLFormElement.submit() working for the described GET-form polling use case and update the compatibility documentation.
