Specification: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/obsolete.html Multipage: http://www.whatwg.org/C#obsolete-but-conforming-features Complete: http://www.whatwg.org/c#obsolete-but-conforming-features Comment: In "Authors should not specify the maxlength attribute on input elements whose type attribute is in the Number state.", shouldn't this be the "size" attribute? Note that validator.nu doesn't raise warnings (but instead errors) for either case.

OK, I just noticed that bug #9760 and bug #12781 are relevant. But yet "render the text field with a useful width" doesn't describe maxlength's behavior. I've changed the title of this bug as such.
Yeah I can add size="" to this temporary list.
