Elements with role="form" need to have an accessible label before they are considered to be a landmark.

Please add a new sentence to the ARIA11 Technique to that effect. Something similar to what will be added for region in #1269:

form: A region of the document that represents a collection of form-associated elements, some of which can represent editable values that can be submitted to a server for processing. It maps to form in HTML, and needs an accessible label to be included as a landmark for assistive technology.

NOTE: The label requirement for form role was added in ARIA 1.2, which has not reached Rec yet, so this can wait until it does.
UPDATE: ARIA 1.2 reached W3C Candidate Recommendation status on March 2, 2021.
