Realistically, anyone who uses most of the HTML5 form features (so
excluding autofocus, placeholder, and some others) will have to
blacklist Opera and WebKit until they shape up. This isn't a problem
with the spec, it's a problem with their current implementation
quality. Hopefully Firefox 4 will drive some adoption and provide an
impetus for Opera and WebKit to improve.

Get the browsers to improve their implementations.
