[whatwg] Usability issues with input type=url validation

2012-10-17 Thread Mikey Clarke
Hi all, I'd like a little information on the motivation for using absolute URLs on input type=url validation. Currently input type=url is to be validated using absolute URLs. Thus, 'http://www.mysite.com' validates but 'www.mysite.com' does not. I consider this to be a huge usability issue.
