Include pros and cons about HTML5 client side form validation

The topic Mark required for screen readers referes to it and theis topic belongs here, I propose a dedicated page.

Draft text:

Using required triggers the client-side form validation of the browser.
At the time of writing, this validation may have accessibility issues. The error messages are not specific enough, they disappear after a few seconds, and they currently lack sufficient screen reader support.
If you decide to use required, also use novalidate on the form element to prevent the browser's form validation from kicking in and enable you to handle validation server-side.

Also add: transation issues and browser inconsistancy
