input@inputmode
Last modified: 2014-11-05 13:44:54 CET
This is another bug which was reported almost 1 year ago, and it seems that nobody took it seriously. When setting @inputmode on textarea, the validator flags it as incorrect stating this confusing explanation: Attribute inputmode not allowed on element textarea at this point. Attributes for element textarea: Global attributes autocomplete autofocus cols dirname disabled form inputmode maxlength name placeholder readonly required rows wrap Moreover, on input elements this attribute is neither allowed nor listed in the allowed attributes, although it is in the specs. While I understand that @inputmode is a problem because it is in the 5.1 version of the spec and it has been only recently inserted in the html5 version (without proper explanation), the Validator should assume either consider it wrong or accept it, possibly warning the author about the lack of implementation for such an attribute. Either keep @inputmode not allowed, and erase it from the list of allowed attributes, or make it allowed. This issue seems fairly serious.

If there's a bug already open on this, then we're aware of it and there's no need to open a new bug for it. It's not a matter of it not being taken seriously, it's just a matter of priorities and time constraints.
