Prateek asked whether bug 70973 ("Set input[type=number] width according to the
maxlength attribute") would address this.

As I said, this input can not be marked as a number, since it is not pure
numeric input.  "-04:00" is considered a string.  Since this can't use
input[type=number], the current bug 70973 proposal would not solve it.

My more general thoughts about bug 70973 are given there; in short, maxlength
does not affect input[type=number], so using it for CSS may be confusing and
semantically incorrect.
