Description

[Mike Caines]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050903 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050903 Firefox/1.0+

If an input is removed from the document, it still remains as a property of the
form, but NOT as a property of form.elements. The behaviour should be identical.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove an input that is a descendant of a form

Actual Results:  
form.inputName still holds a reference to the removed input

Expected Results:  
form.inputName is updated to undefined
