 Replying to [comment:34 obenland]:
 > In the interest of getting HTML5 support in, I'd like to propose a
 simpler solution. It follows the example `$req` sets, checks whether html5
 was specified as the format, and outputs the corresponding input types. I
 moved away from adding the `pattern` parameter since we don't want to
 validate the form anyway.

 I think the The reason for the use of the null pattern was that some
 browsers didn't support the novalidate attribute on the form and attempted
 to do validation.  if I had to guess, it was a version of Opera.
 According to a cursory glance of the internet, it is fine in Opera 11.


 Otherwise this patch looks like the best route until we can get a proper
 form builder in.
