Hi, A couple of months ago I sent some feedback regarding inputmode [1] and based on your reply [2] I assumed that you agreed that we should probably differentiate inputmode and scripts. However, I see that the IME API isn't making this difference and creates a lot of inputmode values to be able to handle different scripts. Is there a specific reason why or is this just in order to follow the HTML specification?
