`api.HTMLFormElement` - `api.HTMLFormElement` precedes support for `<form>`

What type of issue is this?

Incorrect support data (example: BrowserX says "86" but support was added in "40")

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

I don't know this is conclusively wrong, but it is suspicious. The BCD for HTMLFormElement shows support earlier than <form> for Safari and Safari for iOS.

What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?

Safari

What did you expect to see?

I'd assume that the the API landed at the same time as the element. In other words, I'd expect both html.elements.form and api.HTMLFormElement to show Safari 3 and iOS 1 instead of ≤4 and ≤3.2 respectively.

Did you test this? If so, how?

I haven't tested it and I'm not sure how I would.

Can you link to any release notes, bugs, pull requests, or MDN pages related to this?

Do you have anything more you want to share?

@Elchi3 and @queengooborg: this is the kind of thing that I was talking about this morning. Let me know if this style of issue is OK, or how you'd like me to improve it.

Start with the generated status in web-platform-dx/web-features#1440 and compare the BCD entries for api.HTMLFormElement and html.elements.form. Verify the historical Safari and Safari for iOS support data before deciding whether the values should match; done means a justified data correction or a clear explanation of why they differ.
