<input type='text'> could use it too for keywords list for example.

I reported the original. It seems I made a mistake.

Yes, input type text can use it too for keywords/tags fields.

Status: Partially Accepted
Change Description: none yet
Rationale: This may be a good idea, but before adding this feature we should wait to see how well type=email/multiple works. If it works well, then we should consider adding it elsewhere. If it confuses people, or if implementations end up too buggy, etc, then we should abandon the idea.
