this is in page_nav template, but I don't know how to remove pattern from <xf:numberbox>

This is intentional and a good example of when a spec falls down against reality. Using this pattern changes the default keyboard shown on some mobile devices.

It does. But we specifically want a number input here.

Don’t lose too much sleep over HTML validators. They are often rather overzealous.

What we do worry about more is when browsers stop honouring the behaviour of the “invalid” HTML. That doesn’t apply here.
