It sounds like keeping it would enable the extension you mention. People will enter incorrect values in accept= and bad things will happen occasionally (or often) - but not on the systems the developer tested. There's really very little reason for a capture attribute of any kind. If we need one, I'd certainly prefer it be a boolean. The reason I didn't ask for one was that this horrible thing was already deployed and I didn't seem to get any traction tilting at windmills (it's only fun for a few minutes). Accept= really does everything that matters. The rest should be done by the UAs improving their UI, which they will start to do anyway. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This transmission (including any attachments) may contain confidential information, privileged material (including material protected by the solicitor-client or other applicable privileges), or constitute non-public information.
