I see your point, to go for another route, maybe you'd just edit the source of the problem (the note), remove it and include a text similar to the remark about the disabled attribute. I.e: ------- When an input element is disabled, it is immutable. When an input element is readonly, it is immutable. ------- However, there is no readonly concept defined (maybe this will clarify more, but actually I think it's likely to complicate things even more). Hence, another suggestion could be: ------- An input element to which the readonly attribute applies and has that attribute specified, is immutable. ------- Cheers, Rikkert Koppes Ian Hickson wrote: > On Wed, 11 Feb 2009, Rikkert Koppes wrote: > >> At [1] I'd suggest changing the second sentence to "When specified and >> applicable, the element is immutable". >> >> [1]: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#attr-input-readonly >> > > Yeah, I keep thinking of doing something like that.
