 * A few issues I noticed with the form validation:
 * 1. The required fields are highlighted initially in Firefox, which is a browser
   issue. However, in order to enable custom styling, attributes or classes indicating
   the current validation state would be helpful. Currently, I must remove all validation
   styles (:-moz-ui-invalid) in order to fix the initial red borders.
 * 2. When hovering over a required field, the HTML title always shows the mismatch
   error message, even before entering a value.
 * 3. An inconsistency I noticed: The Email field correctly shows the empty message
   as HTML title before entering a value (but not after typing and deleting a value).
   Slightly related to that, the _Messages_ section is displayed above _Use Condition_
   in the Block settings, opposite to other field types I’ve tested.
 * This plugin is the best form builder for gutenberg I could find, but in order
   to create a flawless user experience, these issues need to be addressed.
