[webkit-dev] Implementation thoughts on HTML5 elements

[Anthony Ricaud]

I'm concerned about the actual implementation of email, url, tel and  
number. In shipping versions of Safari (and maybe other browsers ?),  
those are exposed but without new functionality. Before that, a simple  
test on input.type != number was sufficient to provide an alternative  
via Javascript if necessary. And it goes against the philosophy of  
testing the functionality instead of relying on browser sniffing.
