Credit card numbers and SSN are not suitable for type=number at all.  They are structured strings consisted of digits, and should be represented by <input type=text pattern=...>.  The number type is designed for IEEE754 floating point numbers.

Multiple developers and users asked me to support localized numbers.  They said using '.' for decimal separator was not acceptable in their locales.

Opt-out should be provided for page authors and/or UA users.  e.g. adding an HTML attribute, adding a CSS property, or adding a visible switch to enable/disable localization beside the text field.
