Re: A missing point in the HTML5 spec

As a side note, I would like to notify a fact: Validator considers the use
of @inputmode as an error both in <input> and in <textarea>, though it is
listed among the allowed attributes for the latter. See
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-validator/2013Oct/0005.html and
http://bugzilla.validator.nu/show_bug.cgi?id=1005 for a list of (not
answered) reports.
