Something about the pattern attribute in Web Forms got me thinking:
The regular expression language used for this attribute is the same as
that defined in [ECMA262], except that the pattern attribute implies a
^ at the start of the pattern and a $ at the end (so the pattern must
match the entire value, not just any subset).
Does that mean that a pattern attribute like "foo|bar" should translate
to /^foo|bar$/ ? Wouldn't it make more sense it it was /^(foo|bar)$/
with the parentesis?
You have a point. Would implied parentheses cause any side effects? None
that I can think of...
