It's only a shorthand for setting minLength and maxLength to the same
value, I think, but in some cases that shorthand feels more natural. I
don't see any big reason to drop it.

Personally, I don't see the purpose of the fixed attribute anywhere (I
know what it does, just can't conceive of a situation in which it's a
useful thing to do). If you could provide a use-case, I'd really
appreciate it...

Cheers,
