            Bug ID: 22129
           Summary: Allowing @pattern attribute on <input type=number>
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: HTML.next
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2

          Assignee: dave.null@w3.org

We discussed it, after this e-mail:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2013May/0060.html

In the end of the discussion, we agreed that the best probable solution would
be to allow developers to set a pattern attribute to inputs of type number.
You can follow the whole thread here:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2013May/0100.html

This attribute is supposed to specify the thousand separator, decimal
separator, decimal precision and if it some special characters are allowed.

I believe it would bring a big groups of new possibilities for developers to
use the web as interface for standard enterprise softwares.
Also, would free users from downloading javascript libraries that intend to
apply such masks and validations.

The HTML5 form validation methods, as well as :valid and :invalid should take
this attribute as reference, as well.

Cheers.
