I was not proposing more properties to CSS. Having a separate language that can take care of the more behavioral things that are easily expressed. > The impact would be to abandon |spellcheck| as a standard and define > how attributes like |accept| and |pattern| may affect spell checking for > a UA.

I think people would give wrong values for accept in such cases just to turn it off/on. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/>
