WLineEdit add support for HTML5 email type

Description
Hi,
I'm wondering why current implementation of WLineEdit has no support for HTML5 input control?
Today most of the users have HTML5 cable browsers... I don't like to add w WRegExpValidator() with complex regexp if the browser already has an immplementation!
Regards,
Stefan

Probably just because we never got around to it. Do note the difference between Wt's validators and the specialized HTML elements, though: Wt's validators (also) do server side validation, though in the case of email addresses you usually just want to verify them by sending a verification email.

In the first place I was wondering, secondly I also want to check it on server side...
What about providing an WEMailInput() widget class by wt which hides the WRegExpValidator()?
