Though this property is useful in some situation, it's very confusing regarding to its real purpose. If I understand correctly, this property is mostly used for restricting the input character set of an input box.
Not quite. This property is used to assist users typing in the correct IME mode. For example, when a CJK user types in names, he/she wants to type in characters as supposed to Latin alphabets so the user needs to active IME manually. But websites can assist him/her by enabling IME automatically in such an input element. - Ryosuke
