My point is that this is unnecessarily confusing. Just like input.autocapitalize = 'on'; input.autocapitalize === 'sentences'; // true is unnecessarily confusing. Just like leaving mention of "on" out of documentation and specs would be confusing for authors that are looking at other people's code and learning from it (which is one of the great powers of the web platform). / Jonas
