Comment 1 Robin Berjon 2014-11-04 13:58:02 UTC
Note that I already fixed this in the source. Using a keyword for this, rather than a title thing.
Comment 2 Andrea Rendine 2014-11-04 14:04:43 UTC
What's the difference between the "keyword" and the "title" things and where can the fix be found?

Hello, can someone elaborate on this issue, please?

I believe that for some time, the "inputmode" attribute was part of the specification. Or the validator just issued a warning that the attribute is not supported by any browser. But now, it seems that the validator says that the attribute is not allowed (bug 23318). Also I understand this conversation: [1] as that the attribute is not allowed. On the other hand, the attribute is still described in the HTML 5.1 Specification and it's also part of the Editor's Draft.

So, can someone from W3C tell me whether it is *valid* to use this attribute or not please?

It's valid. It's in the current spec (nightly/editor's draft). (The draft at http://www.w3.org/TR/html is an out-of-date snapshot.)

HTML5.1 Bugzilla Bug Triage: 

inputmode has 2 implementations for the input element. The textarea element only has 1 implementation.
