To be fair, the spec says: The input element represents a control for setting the element's value to a string representing a number, but with the caveat that the exact value is not important, letting UAs provide a simpler interface than they do for the Number state. But c'mon, just because we want a cool slider doesn't automatically mean we should prevent the user from knowing the submitted value.
