-----------------------------------------

Andreas. Can you point out where "...those sections claim that the value type is always 'string'"

In 13.5.24 we don't cite a value type from those we define, although we probably should. Is that the issue?

That is I would say those elements don't specify a value type, although they use language like "continuous number range," "date data" 13.5.8 <form:date> which implies date type but doesn't require it, "time data" from 13.5.9 <form:time> which implies time value but doesn't require it, etc. 

I don't know how that has been treated in implementations.

> Currently 13.5.24 states:
> "The <form:value-range> element defines a control which allows the user to select a value from a continuous number range."
> Since <form:value-range> has a form:step-size attribute with a default value of 1 and values that are positiveInteger this is anything but a "continuous" number range. 
> In fact there is no real justification why the  form:step-size and  form:page-step-size attributes could not allow arbitrary positive numbers. Note that form:min-size and form:max-size allow arbitrary doubles.
