This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
In 4.10.7.2.8 The maxlength attribute <http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/common-input-element-attributes.html#the-maxlength-attribute>, the example should use most proper syntax, consistent with other examples. e.g. What are you doing? <input name=status maxlength=140> should be: <label>What are you doing? <input name="status" maxlength="140"/></label>
mass-move component to LC1
The syntax is fine. Using <label> is prolly a good idea.
