I dont think this is the point, Chris wanted to focus on. If there would be a standarized format how to descripe form elements it would help developers of extentions, plugins and useragents to automatically prefill it. (Instead of just guessing if its possibly a login-field). There are two examples, which come in my mind: a) to solve the problems, several screenreaders get by "displaying" form fields. E.g. yaws form-mode. b) to add site search engines to the browsers search bar without the need of javascript or an index like http://mycroft.mozdev.org/ Regards, Wolfgang _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
