Comment:
The current specification and implementation of <input type="date"> using
yyyy-mm-dd format will be unacceptable to many of our corporate customers.

Also, only allowing times in <input type="date"> to be in 24 hour clock will
cause serious delays in our being able to implement HTML 5.  On many occasions
we have had Large USA Corporates and Government departments insisting on the
use of 12 hour clock due to the lack of penetration of 24 hour clock into the
USA.

Both date and time inputs should have the option to use a variety of
international formats (not just the browser locale) otherwise, many developers
will have no alternative but to continue using an <input type='text'>, a
javascript based calendar popup and javascript-based validation.
