In this section: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#attr-fe-minlength

The note reads: “The minlength attribute does not imply the required attribute. If the form control has no minlength attribute, then the value can still be omitted; the minlength attribute only kicks in once the user has entered a value at all.”

I think the 2. sentence should be “If the form control has no required attribute,…”.
