Hi Chaals. It is not necessarily related to UA, but what you wrote makes me even more suspicious about DNS over HTTP. Cheers, Roberto

- yes, html5.3 needs to be defined as the new standard and that would resolve the issue of the html form for email addresses.
Sadly (IMHO) that won't happen. W3C threw HTML 5.3 under the bus last year as part of its effort to hand over HTML to 4 browsers.
On this, I would suggest to include the URL of the deployment page(while seems not updated since sep2018) for html5.3 in the report, so people can see the state of the deployment of this issue: https://w3c.github.io/test-results/html53/implementation-report.html
As the person who did the testing for EAI on that issue, I don't think that is a good idea. Relations between some parts of "the 4" browsers, and W3C's HTML spec reached a nadir at the point where browser engineers deliberately re-engineered code to break compatibility. I would be unsurprised if Firefox' implementation (such as it was) was changed in this way.
Besides which, as everyone has noted, the implementation wasn't sufficient to work end to end. The implementation document was only ever work in progress, the specification was a Working Draft and specifically never reached the point where we did the careful checking to decide what was in the Recommendation and what to defer until a later version.
cheers
