I like this specification. I think it is necessary.
I would like to add a suggested feature to the required field attribute.
There are situations where I have a input element or checkbox on a form
that has sub form elements that should be required if the first input
element is filled out or contains a certain value. For example, let's
say I have a fieldset containing form elements in a form that is for
singles and there is a fieldset containing form elements for married
couples. I have a radio group above that that asks for marital status.
If they select single then the single fieldset elements should be
required; if they select married then the form elements in the married
fieldset should be required.
I was thinking of some sort of expression for the required field such as:
<input type="text" name="spouses_name" required="if(maritalstatus.value=='married')" />
