I really believe the default step should be "any" so that <input type="numeric" name="arg1" /> would accept any number entered like -5, 3.2, 100.23, or -0.0103293 instead of the current implementation that forces such inputs to accept integers only. I, as the developer, should take extra actions to force constraints upon the input as I need them, but should not expect any constraints if I leave them all out.
