What they needed was a control to select an integer from a specific integer

out-of-range value even if the control has min=1 and max=16 attributes.
It's not
a good UI and the reason why they doesn't use type=number.
They need a number control which
- doesn't allow any keyboard / cut&paste operations and
So, a text field part is read-only, but the spin-buttons work.

"required" by default, and sanitization algorithm may be different.
I'm not sure how to solve this issue. Introducing new content attribute or
another number type?
I would have suggested using a standard "select" element for that.
Seems to me it covers all of your requirements:
- cut/paste not allowed
- keyboard spinning
- always valid
even then, I wouldn't do that just to avoid server validation. :-)
Bah! I missed your reply and just posted exactly the same thing. :)
