Re: Unlimited lists
Not sure how helpful this is – it is just my take.
I realize that the use of the word limit can be a question (eg – is there a limit) to which we are then provide a precise answer in some way of yes or no (and the subsequent question of what is the limit?).
I think there is an argument to be made, however, that omission of limit equals unlimited and the usage of limit invokes a limit of some sort.
Therefore, to me, the intuitive solution would be it is unlimited by default (omission of limit) and a limit is only imposed when the attribute is employed. The very use of the attribute is the “yes” if you will.
Thus I can save time and coding *(be lazy :-D ) by never needing to add the attribute “limit” when unlimited is desired.
All that said, if we do need to have limited have an unlimited option, I find yes/no to be straight forward. Perhaps something like limit=“y, 100”, or limit=“n”
I freely confess though I’ve no idea how easy or hard this would be to implement, and am naive to all the various use cases.
