Certainly HTML needs improvement in forms, along with many other areas. However, I have to wonder if the goal of having a single markup language for all devices is a wise one. If I was a site designer, would I really want a small phone like device attempting to implement the <range> slide bar? Perhaps there will always be server side client device type detection and change of behavior for good reasons.

  Yes, you would like to have the range implemented, because it improves usability. It is easier for the end-user to operate a range control than to type a number using the input method of most embedded devices.
