Summary: valueFromInput() method

Initial Comment:
I've bunch of tests where I get a page which is usually populated with default values for even visible input elements. I just need to submit these values back to the form poster after changing 1 or 2 values. While there is a httpUtilities.valueFromHiddenInput that helps in getting hidden values, I couldn't find anything to read input values. valueFromBodyURI doesn't work since it seems to be looking into name=value pairs only which is of use only with query string.

I solved it by writing my own regex function to get my value. But I think this is a common use case. 

If we have a method like valueFromTextInput that is a copy of valueFromHiddenInput, with regex changed to have type=text, that should do it. Still better might be to have a new implementation called valueFromBodyInput which just looks into input tags and returns the value (special processing can be added later for type=radio or type=checkbox.
