This should have the same effect, although it is difficult to test it. I do not know whether any mobile device actually implements XHTML basic 1.1.
As for XHTML mobile profile 1.2, the standard indicates a slightly different way of specifying numeric fields (the example given is for a telephone number):
<input type="text" name="tel" inputmode="digits"/>
And if further specifies:
"Use of both the WCSS text input property -wap-input-format and the inputmode attribute in a single
XHTML Mobile Profile document is discouraged. Note that, if both are applied to a text input form control, the
styling property takes precedence, according to the CSS cascade rules."
So for XHTML 1.2, I would recommend using the -wap-input-format property.
