An omission I think I realised a little later and sent a separate copy to the list. Sorry to mess up threading for all of you..

Thought so.. :-( > I've dropped the maxlength attribute from type="file". We can revisit > whether to add the feature again using some other attribute in WF3. I think it's a good decision if you really definitely don't want to add new attributes at this point in the WF2 process. If it not too late I'd still prefer just renaming it to "filesize" but it can probably wait for WF3.
