           Summary: 'input type=time' forbids legitimate use case
           Product: HTML WG
           Version: unspecified

        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW

input type=time has the 'max' and 'min' attributes to check the value range.
And 'min' is mandated to be lesser than 'max'. For example,

<input type="time" min="23:00:00" max="01:00:00">

would be considered non-conformant (see
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2009Sep/0832.html).

However, a time of 23:00:00 is not always later than 01:00:00. For night times,
it makes perfect sense to allow times between 23h and 01h.

I suggest to add something like "When min is greater than max, UAs will assume
it to be a valid midnight-crossing interval", after the description of the min
and max attributes.
