Not clear if it's > common enough to really need special handling. No, minlength="n" isn't equivalent too pattern=".{n}". @pattern should only be used for specific cases given that it removes all semantic. In addition of passwords fields that require a minimum length (I guess that would be the primary use case), minlength could be used for field that require a specific length in association with maxlength (with maxlength and minlength having the same value). 76793 6 ian 2012-10-19 23:05:35 +0000 *** Bug 16936 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 82037 7 public-rdfa-wg 2013-01-24 06:51:55 +0000 This bug was cloned to create HTML WG bug 19047. 88413 8 ian 2013-05-29 23:53:14 +0000 Bug 15291 suggests there's a lot of demand for this, relatively speaking. 94242 9 contributor 2013-10-03 18:22:12 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r8206.
