I think we're talking about different parts of the spec. The "accept" attribute in 2.14 is for <textarea> and is new to WF2. It is vaguely defined and has no UA conformance requirements. It is mostly intended to spurr implementors into coming up with new interaction models for <textarea> and that's why it's quite vague at the moment; we don't really know what the requirements are. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
