I think they both sound like excellent additions to HTML. INPUT
TYPE=scribble was proposed a couple years ago in HTML 3.0 [1], along with
INPUT TYPE=range. There are a lot of situations in which the range input
type (probably rendered as a spin edit on a GUI browser) would be
extremely useful. Is there any hope of getting these input types into
HTML 4.0?

It would be nice to specify which MIME types are acceptable via the ACCEPT
attribute.
