Section: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#date-and-time-state Comment: Why can't a value start out incomplete, e.g. "2010-" ? Posted from: 86.167.125.100
What's the use case for this that can't be solved by specifying a more specific date within the range? e.g. "2010-01-01" would set the inital date to the beginning of the year. What benefit would there be, or what differences in implementation do you perceive, from the ability to specify a non-specific date?
