[Bug 13154] WF3: Allow two handles on input type="range", like this: http://jqueryui.com/demos/slider/#range

--- Comment #30 from Cameron Jones <cmhjones@gmail.com> ---
Okay, so for the type="range" input i agree that the approach you've just
outlined is most prudent from the current requirements.

The only further consideration i'd like is with regards to what future <input
type="" multiple> might come up?

If there are new type="" which may contain user text and allow multiple values,
then my argument is that this would be better served by the client splitting
these values prior to encoding so that a new microformat is not needed to deal
with user escaping. 

Otherwise, if you think there will be no extensions requiring series encoding
from <input>, then the concerns are largely moot.

So, for example <input type="tel" multiple> would be a bad idea. 

OTOH, i think <select> has some great potential for collecting multiple values,
but, of course, that can be looked at separately.
