We're down to 20 total, 10 from HTML4 and 10 new ones, 6 of which are date-related, 2 of which are numeric, and 2 of which are text-based. We'll probably add type=color soon, and maybe type=emails or some such some time after that. In general though I agree that we should keep things to a minimum, just as with all parts of the Web platform.
