Comment:
If step is the required increase or decrease of the value, is there any way to
declare the value used by stepUp() and stepDown()? I had been using step as
the number to increase/decrease the value when the up/down arrows were clicked
in Chrome, but new builds are now validating the field and requiring that the
value match the step (which appears to be the correct behavior according to
this spec).

Status: Did Not Understand Request
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: I'm not sure what you mean. stepUp() and stepDown() take an integer argument that is multiplied by the step value to determine how much they go up and down by. If you want to change the value by a specific amount, just do "input.valueAsNumber += delta" (or, if we get rid of valueAsNumber, "input.value = parseFloat(input.value) + delta" or some such).
