This is really a user list question, however, the only issue is in validation and form redisplay. HTML doesn't have an 'integer' field so users can enter non-integers. When the non-integers are assigned to your integer fields, the bad values will be discarded. When the form is redisplayed, the users values will be unexpectedly blanked without seeing what they entered which caused the problem. If you are passing ID's around which the user will not really be entering then the issue is moot.
