... also what happens in south indian scripts like Tamil
... where conjuncts aren't forming
... can't tell, but maybe can break in a consonent cluster
... only getting western replies so far

https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/3260

richard: if you look at first link

<r12a> old version: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#input-modalities:-the-inputmode-attribute

richard: gone is latin vs. kana
... gone is upper/lower
... autocapitalize to replace
... that sends a hint to mobile device keyboard

addison: affects soft keyboards

richard: only affects mobile devices
... modeled around apple and android

andrewc: numeric shaping
... depending on keyboard can have huge effects

richard: have a look at thread

<David> Would an IMe be considered a soft keyboard?
