So Mozilla's non-standard compliant change broke one fewer site, problem solved?

Even for this site, why is Mozilla not limiting this breaking change designed to fix password fields to: Password fields. They haven't described why type=text or even textarea should be non-standard, only why type=password should be.

If they limited this to password fields, I'd have no issue. But per the code change they did not.



I’ve had issues pasting phone numbers into text fields, where the last digits get cut off because the form doesn’t want hyphens. I’d rather it paste in the full thing and then let me manually remove the hyphens/spaces.
