    <form action="whatever" method="get">

or has that not been around for long? I haven't found anything stating when it first arrived.

Given that the default method is get, and you have to set method=post for otherwise, I'd suspect it's been around longer than method=post.

Since HTML 2.0 at least. Before that I think the method was specified as part of the action attribute.
