I previously reported this problem in the HTML spec, on 27 Mar 1995
<URL:http://www.acl.lanl.gov/HTML_WG/html-wg-95q1.messages/0828.html>
although I don't have the original message-ID.
In Section 7.1.2 of draft-ietf-html-spec-03.txt (entitled "Input
Field"), the list of attributes of the INPUT element (ALIGN...VALUE)
is supposed to contain a sublist consisting of the possible values
of the TYPE attribute (CHECKBOX...TEXT). However, in the draft,
this nested list is still flattened into a single list.
Without reproducing the entire list, here's what it should look like:
> ALIGN
> ...
> TYPE
> indicates type of the field. Defaults to `TEXT'.
> Values are:
>
> CHECKBOX
> an independent boolean value.
> ...
> TEXT
> a single line text entry fields. The SIZE and
> ...
> element for mulit-line text fields.
>
> VALUE
> The initial value of the field.
Note also the spelling error, "mulit-line" should be "multi-line".
