All, While implementing support for the newly-renamed `accept` attribute on `xforms:upload`, I noticed that in HTML there is more than just support for mediatypes, and the separator used is different. We say in XForms [1]: "Space-separated list of suggested media types" HTML says [2]: "a set of comma-separated tokens, each of which must be an ASCII case-insensitive match for one of the following: The string audio/* Indicates that sound files are accepted. The string video/* Indicates that video files are accepted. The string image/* Indicates that image files are accepted. A valid MIME type with no parameters Indicates that files of the specified type are accepted. A string whose first character is a U+002E FULL STOP character (.) Indicates that files with the specified file extension are accepted." I would much prefer if we were fully compatible with HTML here. I would suggest: - making `accept` HTML-compatible - leaving `mediatype` as space-separated tokens, for backward compatibility Thoughts welcome. -Erik [1] http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/Forms/wiki/XForms_2.0#ui-upload [2] http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/states-of-the-type-attribute.html#file-upload-state-(type=file)
