We had better provide some fixing up for values of <input>. e.g. If a user specify "www.apple.com" for <input type=url>, a browser fixes it to "http://www.apple.com" See the discussion in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27456

I'd love to see this fixed. HTML5 websites are being created right now with fields erroneously marked type="text". We could get the desired effect and start building apps now if this bug was closed -- and in the future, UI improvements that pulled from bookmarks, or history could be enjoyed.

As per discussion in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27456#c25, there were 4 approaches for solving the issue. What is the consensus on the approaches? I am planning to take up this issue and provide the patch for the same.

I am planning to take up this issue and provide the patch for the same. Now we can have different strings in HTMLInputElement::value (HTMLInputElement::m_valueIfDirty or value= attribute value) and UI value (innerTextValue, visibleValue()). We can add fix-up implementation to URLInputType::convertFromVisibleValue().
