I'm not sure I get the 'increasing the size of the API' argument, can someone
expand on it?

To pick a some examples for comparison: Is it worth increasing the size of the
API to have valueAsNumber or valueAsDate when both can be easily worked around
by the developer if required?  Is it worth adding an output element when we
could just have a span and use innerHTML?

Why is this case less worthy than either of those two examples?

I like that an onforminput attribute can be added to the output element.  Even
if that isn't really best practice it's simple for beginners to grasp, and it
keeps all the logic for each output element in one place (and makes the output
element much easier to explain).
