Login webform tweak

Would be nice if the login webform on the FM homepage were slightly modified to make it easier to fill out your email address on mobile. Changing:

Code:

<input id="v19-input" class="v-Text-input" type="text" tabindex="1" name="username" autocomplete="username" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" spellcheck="false" placeholder="email@fastmail.fm">

to

Code:

<input id="v19-input" class="v-Text-input" type="email" tabindex="1" name="username" autocomplete="username" autocorrect="off" autocapitalize="off" spellcheck="false" placeholder="email@fastmail.fm">

will make sure the right keyboard appears on mobile, and keep autocorrect from corrupting your email address. The 'email' form element gracefully gets treated as 'text' on every non-HTML5 browser I've worked with.

Basically true, but when you call the login form from the corresponding domain, you only need to enter your username. The rest of your login email address will be autocompleted.
