Is there a specific reason why the spec requires "associating the form owner" to happen before the insertion of the form control element into the tree? Spec

@Hixie might know this.

(There's also https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28800 and https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=29057 that need fixing in this area.)

No particular reason; so long as the result is black-box identical it doesn't really matter when it's done. It was just easier to explain this way.

Closing since I'm not sure there's much to change in the spec here.
