Actual results:
As of Bug 844744, input type=number on Arabic Wikipedia is using eastern Arabic digits but Arabic Wikipedia itself is using western Arabic digits (i.e. English locale digits)
Expected results:
There should be someway to control that on CSS.
MediaWiki's Arabic locale itself by default use Arabic digits but MediaWiki configuration of Arabic Wikipedia do not use that. See this part of Wikipedia servers configurations:
https://github.com/wikimedia/operations-mediawiki-config/blob/94324d93a58634a70ad3cc84263e2b901bc8923f/wmf-config/InitialiseSettings.php#L3919
There should be someway for such sites to disable localized numbers WITHOUT disabling it by default.
Well, there is a workaround, using lang="en", but am not sure if this is clean way of that and IMO is just a hack. Was nice if there was a dedicated CSS selector for just controlling numbers localization.

Using lang="en" on the <input> seems like the right way to me.
Anyway, the mailing list www-style@w3.org is a better forum to request new CSS properties.

Yeah, I don't see what's wrong with @lang either.

The locale is selected using a BCP lang tag.

Is there maybe a more specific tag for Arabic Wikipedia to use than "en"?
Thank you :jwatt. "ar-u-nu-latn" sounds very reasonable to me so I've opened a bug on Wikimedia https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62725 and am closing this bug.
