I understand that type="tel" provides a numeric keypad for mobile users, but it also breaks accessibility and does not accurately describe what is being inputted into the field.

A vision impaired user will hear "Input telephone number" on the credit card field. 

Please either switch this to type="text", or provide a way to configure the type of the field through the API.
