Comment(by jorbin):

 I tested in opera 10.62 and both .in and .eu domains work fine. I think
 that was an old bug.

  http://webaim.org/blog/future-web-accessibility-new-input-types-in-html5/
 has some info on how these improve accessibility.

 Also, the iphone does some very cool things with the type that we would
 now be enabling:  http://diveintohtml5.org/forms.html

 Sites that want to use xhtml or html4 should be required to filter the
 content.  Twenty Ten is html5.
