- new <input> element types
These seem generally useful, and we already have some implemented
to various extents (search, range, email, url tel). The only concern
is the sheer number of date and time controls. 6 of the 13 new input
types are for dates or times. Are there real use cases for all 6? Do
all 6 exhaustively cover the types of time and date input you may
want to do in forms?
Without commenting on whether the 6 are too many or too few, one
nice thing (based on both the spec and Opera's implementation of
these) is that the work to implement all 6 looks to not be
dramatically more than the work to implement just one. Therefore
concerns can probably remain focused on whether this set meets the
real needs of the web, without worrying about implementation
difficulty.
I believe I based the concern on whether these types fit the use
cases, but I can add your comment that extra ones don't seem too hard
to implement to the people currently investigating the feature.

Maciej
