Not precisely. XHTML 1.1 Basic includes inputmode="latin digits" 
(borrowed from XForms) as a "hint" to user agents about expected input:

http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml-basic/#s_inputmode

Nor does it include type="number" (that's HTML5's Web Forms 2.0 draft) 
or any CSS (that would be specified by another working group).

These all seem to be syntaxes that do roughly the same thing in practice.

Hope that clarifies things.
