[Bug 7711] The "strong native semantics" are worded very similarly -- but not quite the same -- for input type=Number, input type=range, and progressbar.

I disagree. I think the danger of being too explicit is that implementors would
be swiming in trivial requirements and would miss the important ones.

I assume you mean slider and spinbutton.

When the spec sets an implied role=slider, it always also implies
aria-valuenow.
For the case of role=spinbutton, there's one case where it can't set
aria-valuenow, namely when the value is not known. (Setting it to "" is just as
non-conforming as omitting it, except the ARIA spec says it SHOULD NOT be
specified if the value is not known, which implies a preference to omitting
it.)
