If Flash was more prevalent in that area, the iPhone/iPad debacle would have far more effect on data input in the public consciousness. As it is, we're used to nifty datetime calendar pickers from our favourite javascript frameworks so this would seem less groundbreaking. People may keep using basic text input for dates even after the wholesale acceptance of HTML5, because form fields have traditionally been a nightmare to style cross-browser.

I have a few sites i'll definately be adding the new INPUTs on as they require dates and they get stuffed up all the time... hopefully this will help!

I think the HTML 5 features like figure, progress, meter, nav, content prefetching etc are innovative and helpful. thanks for sharing such feature with us.
