Comment:
Accepting following the forum conversation, highlighting this fragment
from [
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/tel
the MDN docs] about its relevancy for small screens and overall
accessibility:
> Despite the fact that inputs of type tel are functionally identical to
standard text inputs, they do serve useful purposes; the most quickly
apparent of these is that mobile browsers — especially on mobile phones —
may opt to present a custom keypad optimized for entering phone numbers.
Using a specific input type for telephone numbers also makes adding custom
validation and handling of phone numbers more convenient.
