           Summary: UA should use element locale for i18n
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: HTML5 spec (editor: Ian Hickson)

The specification currently notes that input controls are to be presented in
the user's preferred locale. This contradicts the specification of the lang
attributes and does not allow for an author to explicitly declare i18n input
controls. 

If the input element does not explicitly declare a lang attribute, the language
should be determined as specified in "3.2.3.3 The lang and xml:lang attributes"

This bug is opened in response to "Last Call feedback on Date/Time controls":
