Which can be summarized to: 1. filter not allowed value 2. filter invalid values I do believe that we should not make the filtering mandatory. For example, in the case of a textfield, filtering the values sound useless given that not allowed value will be sanitized and invalid value will just have to be corrected. However, I agree that, for some widgets, invalid and not allowed values should be filtered. For example, for <input type='number'> and <input type='range'>, we agree that "foo" wouldn't be a good suggestion here. So, I think we should make the quoted sentence weaker and remove the "must" to at least a "should" and even add that, "Depending on the widget, user agents should filter [...]". 43654 1 mounir 2010-12-29 22:57:10 +0000 Obviously, it has been fixed in r5725. 53250 2 mike 2011-08-04 05:11:57 +0000 mass-move component to LC1
