Specification
None


Summary

This feature provides a standard mechanism to indicate whether an element or 
its subtree should allow user agent handwriting input. User agents that support 
handwriting recognition as a means to input text using a pen/stylus will behave 
differently than a user agent that doesn't support handwriting. However, this 
handwriting may not be desirable for all supported input fields. By specifying 
the HTML handwriting attribute, authors can indicate when the user agent should 
not allow handwriting.

Motivation

To disable handwriting input without this feature, developers would need to use 
preventDefault() on pen touch events, assuming that was an option for the user 
agent implementation of handwriting input. Android uses a non-standard 
`touch-action` configuration to disable handwriting input, this proposal will 
provide a standardized mechanism.
