[html] Issue: Sort out issues with [inputmode] marked as i18n

r12a has just labeled an issue for https://github.com/w3c/html as 
"i18n":

== Sort out issues with [inputmode] ==

In the linked bug, it is pointed out that `inputmode` combines 
concepts in one attribute that shouldn't logically belong together 
(script/language [latin, kana...], data types, and typing aids, etc.).

Is this feature widely implemented? Should it be dropped? If not, can 
it be refactored to make sense? Mozilla seems to have had an interest 
in addressing some of these concerns.
