Roger, don't they already handle the case of 
"multiple" for the decimal point?  (in my app
number fields allow only one). Sure, in that
case they don't have to worry about the position, 
but it can't be that hard to limit it to the first
character!?

Adding a pair of push buttons or some other widget
(poplist) would make it a bit more kludgy for
keyboard users (e.g., Treo) to enter their 
information, wouldn't it?
