They do, according to this handy-dandy chart: http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/forms.html#input-type-attr-summary The UI question is more vexing. Like a lot of features in HTML 5, how useful these features will be to authors looks like it will depend a lot on how consistently good the UI is that browsers implement. If even one major browser has bad UI, or if the UIs prove to be inflexible, that might kill a lot of the interest that many authors have in using the new input types.
