I also have a concern on this proposal. The assumption that this property makes on the semantic of the input system of the platform does necessary universally true and it could be potentially harmful. On Mac OS X and iOS, there is no notion of disabling or enabling input method or mode. You can switch between different input modes, or you can request an input mode that is suitable for a particular purpose (e.g. ascii, email address, etc.).

I will catch up with the thread and will make more comment.

Thanks,

for people who musta take care of input method related stuff.

I still think that this feature would be actively harmful - even native applications that only target one platform often get IME wrong - there is no chance a web app would do it right on all major platforms. Sticking with platform default behavior is best.

In the use cases the were discussed in the bug, support for ime-mode would have harmed international savvy behavior.
