I thought about this a bit as well, but I'm not really sure what the use case would be. You typically see the effect happening for <input type=text>. Would this be used by contenteditable-enabled controls? Custom controls? If we go down this route, I think we should add the disabled attribute as a global attribute as well. Internet Explorer already has it and it makes sense together with contenteditable and tabindex. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
