RE: inputmode attribute

Even though our proposal has the combined list, we don’t have a strong opinion about whether this should all be in one attribute or in two. Primarily, our concern was to add the values are that currently not present in the spec, such as full/half width, hiragana/katakana, etc.

Subject: inputmode attribute

Hi all,

For IME API (http://www.w3.org/TR/ime-api/), we got comment from Microsoft to change some of types
from inputmode, which is currently defined as
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/association-of-controls-and-forms.html#input-modalities:-the-inputmode-attribute

and the new proposal is
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/ime-api/raw-file/tip/proposals/IMEProposal.html#inputmode-attribute

As Mounir already discussed in WHAT WG list back in February,
http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/2013-February/038914.html
there was a discussion to separating mode and script for the attribute.

Can we discuss what the attribute should be here in this list?
