The input element has a type attribute which allows values such as
number, text, etc.
Number matches only digits.
Text matches *everything*.
It would be nice with 'alphabetic' that matches only a-z, not
!@#$%/[]{}(), etc.
Using <input type=number> is expected to be implemented so that the user
can input a number via some user interface, and the set of allowed
values depends on other attributes of the element, and may allow numbers
with a decimal part or with a sign.
To specify that a-z only be accepted, you can use <input type=text
pattern="[a-z]"> or (if uppercase is to be allowed too) <input type=text
pattern="[a-zA-Z]">
