Also of course great examples of the problems with datetime in legacy UA's - they use a single text entry box, but use text on the page to show the format, as soon as we use <input type=datetime> instead of text there, things change. We can't add the text dd/mm/yy to the document, since that's going to be gibberish to someone presented a date picker where they can't use that format. So this I think shows it clearly how degrading to a textbox in a datetime will cause problems in understanding what dates are. Jim.
