Any news on this?
It would be great to have url, email ... input types.

for example IOS devices show a different keyboard when focusing special
input types.

Do the maintainers have an opinion on the architecture of supporting
this? Just following the current pattern leads to a minor class
explosion, with HTML_QuickForm2_Element_InputSearch apparently equal in
status to HTML_QuickForm2_Element_InputText. On the other hand,
gathering them in one class could be nonintuitive, since "…InputText"
doesn't obviously cover the new types, and a new name (such as
"InputTextlike") would be hard to guess. I'm leaning toward the
class-explosion option myself, though maybe the new classes should
extend "…InputText".

(I'm asking because my project lead is demanding a minimum value on the
spinner I gave him by doing setType('number') on an
HTML_QuickForm_input. I'm considering patching HTML5 types in, after
upgrading to HTML_QuickForm2.)

class HTML_QuickForm2_Element_InputText extends 
HTML_QuickForm2_Element_Input
{
    protected $attributes = array('type' => 'text');
}

class HTML_QuickForm2_Element_InputEmail extends 
HTML_QuickForm2_Element_Input
{
    protected $attributes = array('type' => 'email');
}

... etc
