I am currently implementing a js library to make wf2 functionality available to 
legacy browsers (I know google is doing this too). Some things that came to 
mind are:

- when validity flags are not set, should they equal null or false?

- this might have been proposed before: consider a reset() method for form 
controls and fieldsets

- in this light: consider a clearable or resettable boolean attribute for 
inputs, which might display a "clear" button in the field, as seen in for 
example the mail filter in thunderbird. This should reset the control to the 
default value, ie calling the above reset() method, example formatting:
+--- legend [x] -------------------+
|                                  |
|    +----------------------+      |
|    |                   [x]|      |
|    +----------------------+      |
+----------------------------------+
which shows a clear button on a fieldset and input field. Note that Opera's 
date related fields also have an "none" button, which might be equivalent of 
the above

- are negative years allowed (B.C.)? the datetime description tells me "four or 
more digits (0 to 9) representing the year" which implies "no". use case: 
hystory questionary
