Re: Euro Hackathon

Hi Lisa,

This is exciting news.

One point however - I think "field" as an attribute is redundant and not
required. What we need is a mechanism for unequivocally stating the purpose
*of a field*, but the field itself is programmatically created with the
<input> element (a strong semantic), and helper apps should be able to
determine that an input is a field via that semantic alone. For example,
we'd never consider <p purpose="paragraph">, and so I remain unclear why we
need/want <input purpose="data-field">.

Is there a use-case you have in mind that would require a mechanism for
indicating "data-field"?
