The intended behavior is similar to that of the accept attribute [accept]. To align more closely with that language, we could change the sentence to: [[ The capture attribute MAY be specified to provide user agents with a hint of a preferred capture control type for a file picker. ]] Or something along those lines -- feel free to suggest a better wording. > Was that already brought up on the list or in meetings? The draft dating back to 2010 talks about hinting in non-RFC terms, so it may well be. Unfortunately I'm unable to locate a reference. > If not, would that be something the group would be willing to consider? All - Let us know if there are any concerns in changing the normative prose as outlined above. Tobie - Thanks for the review! -Anssi > [HTML Media Capture]: http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/camera/ [accept] http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/states-of-the-type-attribute.html#attr-input-accept
