For those wondering, "What x icon?", I'll note that this is a browser bug/feature. The x icon does not appear in Firefox 26, though it does appear (on the right side!) in Chromium because of the type="search" attribute.

Thank you for comments.
I need feedback by one who uses OS X in RTL daily too.
Type=color shares appearance with <select> menu button, of which native control ignores RTL on OSX.
