Comment:
Value sanitization scheme is untenable.

Consider following:

<FORM ...>
<INPUT NAME=id TYPE=number>
<INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT>
</FORM>

Q. What happens when user sets value and clicks submit button?

A. Text field "appears" to be blanked concurrently with submit click, user
receives no 
feedback they made a mistake and empty data submitted.

Why does out of range, failure to match pattern or type=email 
afford usable feedback to users?
