Sugestion! 

Would be very important if in the input tag we have to complement the
type="text", a atributte where we can tell what type of text we want to use,
like number, tel, e-mail, date or text because the browser can care of the
validation and the mask. 

For the mobile browser, would be simple to show up the keyboard with the
propouse of the field. If is a number, show the number keyboard. If is e-mail,
show the letters keyboard only with valid chars.

It's semantic. We give a propouse for every imput in the html.

I will be glad if you give me a return to say if my sugestion is good or not.

Tks,

HTML already has new input types for email, tel, date, datetime, etc.  How does your suggestion differ from what we already have?  Please read the spec before proposing new features.
