Steps to reproduce

1. Type 'eee' into the paper-input type='number' field

We seem to get no input event fired (from the native input) when the first e is typed :(

Update: Ohhhh I see. Because the default value of the iron-input is "", when you type an e the value still stays as the empty string (since input type=number is evil like that). In this line, bindValue and value are the same, so no event is fired, which is why nobody is notifying the paper-input to float the label.

@samuelli I'm tempted to close this since I don't really see how we can fix it; <input type=number> does everything in its power to not save the invalid value anywhere, so without doing enormous hacks (saving the entered text after iron-input's _onKeypress and checking it in _onInput, and hope for the best these are always in the same order) I don't see a solution.
WDYT?

[samuelli]

Yeah, that's probably fair!
