I think the existing editor's draft covering the accept attribute [1] doesn't include Andrei's/Google's proposes enhancement for capture scenarios, and we should discuss these within HTML. This should supplement DAP WG's interface specification. If we don't have a such a thread, one of us should start one within HTML WG :-) >> > While we're on that one, what are the reasons to overload MIME syntax in @accept instead of adding a separate attribute that triggers a relevant sensor, when present? > Minimizing attributes is nice; I don't think this is overloading. Rather, by including @accept in the first place, we may have all that we need. At the risk of bikeshedding, what is your proposal, and why is it better? Currently, it seems we have Andrei's proposal: <input type="file" accept="image/*;source=camera"> [1] Upon reflection, I'm not sure if we even need the extra ";source=camera" part. Our implementation doesn't use it, and thus we have the existing use of @accept which seems sufficient. Andrei, do you think we actually need the additional qualifier? If so, why? -- A* [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-device-apis/2010Jun/0106.html
