Dispatching invalid at <form>

[annevk]

I also found none of Chrome, Firefox and Safari dispatches invalid event targeting the <form>.

It seems we should remove this functionality given that nobody complained about it for so long.

I confirmed Edge didn't do it too.

To fix this, step 6.3.1 of https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-form-submit needs to be removed. A WPT test to confirm the event does not fire would also be good.

So removing The point 6.3.1 would solve this issue from https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-form-submit. Am I right?

Right. Please refer to annevk's last comment.

There is also a note at the bottom of 4.10.1.4 that should be updated or removed:

When a form is submitted, invalid events are fired at each form control that is invalid, and then at the form element itself. This can be useful for displaying a summary of the problems with the form, since typically the browser itself will only report one problem at a time.
