wouldn't having two separate constructors be cleaner?  then you wouldn't
need the form null check inside of appendForm.

Is this from some spec?

> WebCore/html/DOMFormData.cpp:50
> +    if (form)

Prefer early return.

> WebCore/html/DOMFormData.h:55
>      DOMFormData(const TextEncoding&);
> +    DOMFormData(HTMLFormElement*);

These need to be marked "explicit".

Not yet. But it will be added to the XHR Level 2 spec soon since everyone seems to agree on this. FF is also adding this support.
