needs consensus
This needs committee consensus before it can be eligible to be merged.
JSC currently enforces a limit. Other engines don't, but their host does enforce a limit for
<input type=pattern>
. Consider defining this limit directly in ECMAScript instead.If this limit is not defined directly in ECMAScript, we would still need a host hook for it, at least for
<input type=pattern>
, though potentially we could instead enforce it in HTML for the web platform in general.See whatwg/html#9469 for context.
