not supported on input type=number? or should implementors restrict # of
digits based on max value?

Comment 1 Aryeh Gregor 2010-11-05 00:12:29 UTC 
Yes, maxlength is not supported on number inputs.  Length doesn't make sense for number inputs, max and min are the logical equivalent.  Implementers can choose to not allow input of anything that falls outside the min and max, if they like (UI is undefined in HTML).
