Voting is used on many websites and has become a great heuristic for evaluating the usefulness of content on the web. Standardizing upvoting would make it easier for users and search engines to interact with.

I'm leaving this issue open-ended because I'm not an expert at html. Maybe the best approach is to simply add a type to the input element but I don't know.

I don't think this is feasible. There are a lot of different types of voting: up/down votes, # out of 5, # out of 10, multiple choice, ranked choice...

Hey @user-name-is-taken, https://wicg.io/ is a better forum for flushing something like this out. https://whatwg.org/faq#adding-new-features might also be of interest.
