Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] HTML General Review: HTML Forms (#253)

The notes came in during a meeting, so to give a bit more context:

For the RHS (domain or IP) it is probably safe to make the restrictions lighter. I've been against doing the same for LHS (mailbox, also known as IDs) as interoperability across MTAs aren't great, and don't want to look like we are advocating that there wide adoption for unicode aware mailboxes. Nothing prevents web developers from actually using `input type=text` for this, and I think considering the extensibility limitations or customization against type-bound forms we'd like to raise the question of the usefulness of current forms, up to a point that it might be worth looking into deprecating certain aspects of it and replacing it with extensible primitives.

This is obviously a project that will take quite a bit of time, but a gist of the two line summary above.
