Agreed.

So you would write some onLoad-JS code that disables the elements initially 
rather than

True.

BTW, shall we try to get the fieldset patches into 4.0.x or is this 
something for the next release *?

I just did a copy'n'paste from the specs. I think that all of the above 
attributes could be implemented by a "params" TS property.

Only for type=submit, but it is allowed for all input types.

Masi

* If we postpone the fieldset patch and the access keys to the next 
release, I'd like to set up a feature list for a short term 4.1 with only 
minor improvements (like fixes for bugs that are too complicated for 4.0.x 
and stuff like access keys).
