 Agreed. It's nice to have "self-validating" fields but we need to double-
 check that validation.

 As far as I understand the specs for type=number, the min, max and step
 attributes are used in validation (when present), so field with step="10"
 won't accept values like 12, 123, etc.

 The type=search doesn't seem to have any restrictions, and type=url is
 limited to absolute URLs only.

 There are also several field types that deal with date/time and couple of
 "more interesting" types, like `range` that displays a slider and `color`
 that brings up swatches or the system color picker (Opera only for now).
