Regarding 4.10.4.2.4 The size attribute <URL:http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/forms.html# the-size-attribute>: The user does not see characters, she sees glyphs. If the text input control uses a variable-spaced typeface, the user agent must consider the maximum glyph width for the worst case (WWW in Latin or whatever), which may be excessive, or resize the control on the fly (causing a reflow, which would be unexpected and annoying). My text was intended as an amendment to the first sentence only. In particular, I think that the comment about ligatures is worth including. HTH, Chris
