.serialize() doesn't include <output> fields from a form (new in HTML 5)

Description
With the addition of <output> fields for forms in HTML5, it would be beneficial to have .serialize() include them (perhaps optionally) when applied to a form. For example, the developer might want to collect usage data to improve the user experience, and collecting the <output> field values would be useful.
For an example, see http://jsfiddle.net/jemonat/9KJCb/. There, $('#myform').serialize() only includes input fields, not <output> fields.

OK, thanks! I've included the output fields manually for my page; just thought it might be helpful to let developers decide if they want to include output fields in .serialize(). I understand the logic of following the HTML5 spec for what elements are submittable.
See #10443. The updated link for the spec is
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/forms.html#constructing-form-data-set
We're following spec here. The HTML5 spec doesn't consider
<output>to be a submittable element, which does make sense because it's calculated, so we wouldn't want to include it. If you had a situation where you wanted to include it you can do it manually.
