I don't think that the current HTML5 draft should influence our decision much.
Every other major browser engine behaves differently from WebKit, and we have
well founded complaints about WebKit behavior.

I agree that the single-input case is inconsistent, both internally and with
platform conventions. But WebKit is instead inconsistent with platform
conventions in the more common case of having more than one input. And as
explained by Edward above, the action of accidentally submitting an incomplete
form is a dangerous one, so we shouldn't make it too easy.
