The key is _easily_ test the fallback content. For those authors who just don't care, there's no default fallback content, which I think is worse than none at all. Besides, if the upper-end authors really want to replace <input type="date"> with three select boxes in legacy UAs, it can be done with some script without imposing some sort of comment/uncomment testing method on lower-end authors who just don't know or care.
