Please re-read the original email of the thread.

I am arguing that *neither*
<input type="text" pattern="\d*" />
nor
<input type="number" .... />
are correct.

While I could understand a keyboard which only allows "allowed tokens" this
is entirely infeasible given modern regular expressions are Turing
complete. In fact, they are infeasible even as DFAs considering valid
values depend on future input.

There is room for a "digits only" inputmode which is *already* a mode
supported by some mobile browsers. I'd only like to make this explicit and
non-magical.
