[Shib-Users] Re: Ipad auto-capitalization of username

[McDermott, Michael]

Chad,
I'd be happy to put in a JIRA ticket,

Bernd, before I do, other than a validation to fail, what error is it likely
to cause?  Have you any experience, anecdotes, or evidence that it impacts
screen readers for the visually impaired or something analogous?

A known issue with usability outweighs correctness for its own sake in my
estimation, but I know little about what additional issues may arise and
a brief wrangle with Google did not yield any issues.

Mike
