The sense seems to be backwards. Not being allowed to modify something is immutability. Mutability is not similar to immutability. It’s opposite.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Rejected Change Description: no spec change Rationale: The spec is correct, though I agree it looks contradictory at first glance. The paragraph in question is really just setting defaults, so that, e.g., you can't change the checkedness of a text field. I tried adding an informative note in the spec to clarify it but I couldn't come up with a good way of doing it that didn't end up taking far more prose than this is worth. 53938 3 mike 2011-08-04 05:34:40 +0000 mass-move component to LC1
