Elide Attributes needs an exception for type="text"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Technically Elide Attributes can remove type="text". And I have to admit the 
CSS risk is documented.

However, for the case of <input> tags, they vary wildly in appearance. It is 
therefore extremely common to have a selector on type="text", as you don't want 
to place it on 'input' itself, and by adding extra classes to get the necessary 
specificity, the developer is working against minification.

I therefore think you should either make an exception for stripping 
type="text", or to add some additional configurability of what tag/attribute 
combinations may be elided, with sensible defaults.

• Merged into: elide_attributes should not remove type=text as wordpress uses it in CSS #684

Thanks for the report Chris.  You have good timing.  This was recently 
addressed in Issue 684 and will be part of the next release.
