`val` fails to return numeric elem.value

Description
When non-string value is assigned to element by:
.val(3.5);
and then retrieving the value back using:
.val();
I'm getting (in Chrome 7.0):
TypeError: Object 3.5 has no method 'replace'
pointing me to line 1589 in the latest 1.4.3. In there:
return (elem.value || "").replace(rreturn, "");
I'm not really sure if this actually is a bug or a feature. Either way my tests uncovered this issue.
I think adding an empty string to the elem.value would make it a string and while not hurting existing strings. But I may as well be missing the big picture here.
return (elem.value + "" || "").replace(rreturn, "");
Or are values required to be just strings?
Thanks very much for clarification

OK. Thanks
Correction: when the value is assigned using
val
it kinda works - assigned numeric value is returned as a string. But hey, who cares, string to number conversion is cheap. It fails on assigning the numeric value directly to the DOM node usingvalue
property.
