input[number] throws required-validation-error instead of number-validation-error

[donaldpipowitch]

Example straight from the docs: http://plnkr.co/edit/ngdoc:example-number-input-directive@snapshot?p=preview

If you write a into the input[number] it shows {"required":true,"number":false} instead of {"required":false,"number":true}.

Tested in Chrome 33.0.1750.152.

This is a known issue, there are other issues open regarding this.

We've discussed a refactoring of form validation during the meeting, in order to decouple transformation of values from validation itself. This should play a huge role in fixing this. I think Matias is working on this, or will be in the near future.

I'm going to close this for now because we don't really need another open issue about this, but feel free to continue the discussion at #6818
