must not remove type="text" from <input type="text">

[607011]

minify removes any type="text" from <input type="text">. If such an element is styled based on the CSS rule input[type="text"] the resulting minified code is semantically different from the source code.

I know, I can call minify with --html-keep-default-attrvals to retain that attribute, but it feels wrong, because other default attributes, which can safely be discarded, are affected as well.

Thanks for raising this. I understand this is a bit surprising, and the matter is unfortunate, but I believe that the correct CSS rule should be input:not([type]), input[type='text'], which most CSS frameworks seem to do in this case. That would style all text inputs, following the HTML specification more closely. Could that work for you?
