<font color="#333333"><font><font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">For the HTML5 inputs I would say fantastic! Most definitely, super idea for sure. I am guessing that tables in example are just that, examples it would be much cleaner to do this tableless with DIVs. As far as non-English, just another useful thing to do. My Theme's are getting whole bunch of requests and sometimes those ugly displays too!</font></font></font><div>

Hey all,<br>
<br>
I just had a conversation in IRC with George Stephanis from the core<br>
UI crew. They're planning to add styling for several of the HTML5<br>
input types (input type="date", type="url", and so on) to Twenty Ten<br>
and Twenty Eleven, and he asked if we could add a set of form fields<br>
to the Theme Unit Test data.<br>
<br>
The proposed theme changes are here: <a href="http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/20579" target="_blank">http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/20579</a><br>
And HTML for the unit test is here: <a href="http://cl.ly/2E3M103q1V2s3k1Z0X1w" target="_blank">http://cl.ly/2E3M103q1V2s3k1Z0X1w</a><br>
<br>
We don't require HTML5, at least not yet, so it would clearly be out<br>
of our scope to require the new input types, but I *do* think it would<br>
be worth adding a page to the Layout Test for form elements even<br>
without making it a review requirement: ugly (or inconsistent) default<br>
form elements are UGLY, and the Theme Unit Test is useful as an<br>
education and testing tool as much as a part of the review.<br>
<br>
<br>
As a separate request, I'd also like to see us add a multilingual<br>
content test: even though we default to English for the main theme<br>
language, themes should still be able to handle non-English *content*<br>
whether it's extended-Latin, Cyrillic, RTL, Asian, etc. Even with the<br>
correct database encoding, designs can get pretty ugly with the wrong<br>
meta charset or even bad font choices. I'd love to see a Layout Test<br>
section with quotes in a few of the more common character sets; I<br>
suspect there are people on this list who can come up with a far<br>
better variety of both languages and quotes than I can ;)<br>
<br>
What say we?<br>
<br>
A.<br>
