The "step" attribute of the Input tag, type="numeric":
The default step for this input type is 1, thereby forcing all input to be
integer only if you leave off the step attribute. I really believe the default
step should be "any" so that
<input type="numeric" name="arg1" />
would accept any number entered like -5, 3.2, 100.23, or -0.0103293 instead of
the current implementation that forces such inputs to accept integers only. I,
as the developer, should take extra actions to force constraints upon the
input as I need them, but should not expect any constraints if I leave them
all out.
