Also fixed precision (aka currency) values.


Might be woth having a

    <input type=currency currency=DKK>
so the keyboard input can clearly show the currency that is entered. This can be very important in multi-currency applications, e.g. travel (both customer and admin).

Currency attribyte is ISO code: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_4217

Also: <input type=count>

which shows up/down arrows, and is a special case of <input type=integer>


That actually sounds like an idea whose time has definitely come. Anyone here on the HTML standards body (or works for Google in the requisite part of the Chrome team)?

There are other uses for fixed precision besides currency (co-ordinates, tolerances, etc.), but currency would be used a LOT!
