I would probably expect "latin-digit" or something like that. If, say, one  
is typing a credit card number neither input <type=number> nor <input  
type=tel> is appropriate, and it's a common use case where the user needs  
to toggle manually to avoid "wide" Japanese numbers and such. (A "number"  
type input is not appropriate because a credit card number might start  
with a 0, which would be removed when sending a number value).

It may also be a case that a developer wants to do things like

Phone number: <div contentEditable inputmode="tel"><span class="prefix"  
contentEditable=false>+47</span> | </div>

If we only offer <input type=tel> we remove certain possibilities for  
formatting parts of the number.
