Safari states their position on standards here: https://webkit.org/standards-positions/

IMO they have good reasons for opposing most of the standards

I searched that page and their github repo for "inputmode" (my example from before you posted) and couldn't find anything.

https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues?q=input...

I'd love to find out if anyone on the webkit project is aware of that part of the standard, and if so, the project's official position on it. I can't imagine why they'd oppose it.

Looks like it is already supported by Safari/WebKit for a number of versions: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Global_att...

They don't even implement the standards that they have agreed to properly.
