HTML should not specify styles for anything. If you want that from HTML you don't understand what HTML is. Nothing stops you from targeting different inputs with CSS right now with attribute selectors (e.g. input[type="url"]). As for whether it is a good idea to style inputs differently from defaults users are used to, that's still a topic for discussion.
