I mean, this could've been solved by the spec using type="quantity".

Many languages have generic, ambiguous umbrella terms, it's the sloppiness of the spec picking one.

A sequence of numbers could be called, with a little approximation, a barcode. Which makes me wonder why credit cards don’t have an actual barcode to easily enter it on the computer.
