Specification:
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/states-of-the-type-attribute.html#time-state-%28type=time%29

Needs release notes:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/21

MDN pages probably in need of an update:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTML/Element/Input
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/HTMLInputElement

Information out of bug 777283:
"It can be used by mobile platforms (Android and FxOS). Which means there will be no in-page UI but the system UI is going to be used."
"<input type='time'> will be ignored on desktop builds. It is behind a pref that is enabled by default on Android and FxOS. This is already the case with <input type='number'> and <input type='date'>."

Sanitizing algorithm for <input type=time>, bug 781569:
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/common-microsyntaxes.html#valid-time-string

Properties:
* .valueAsNumber and .valueAsDate, bug 781570:
* .min and .max, bug 781572
* .step, bug 781573

Comment 1

[Mounir Lamouri (:mounir)]

The implementation status is the following:
- Firefox Android: available by default;
- Firefox OS: available by default;
- Firefox Desktop: disabled by default.

The preference to toggle this feature is "dom.experimental_forms".

Florian, feel free to let me know if you have any question.
