Summary: the 6 new datetime <input> types are quite useful for a variety of use-cases but could use 2 more that fit in with the current set. In addition to current new absolute types of "date", "week", "month", it makes sense to add type="year" as well for choosing a year value. And in addition to the current new relative type of "time", it makes sense to add type="month-day" as well (for a inputting a month and a day without a year, e.g. for a birthday without birth year, or for entering custom annual holidays). More details, use-cases, research here: http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/Input_element#new_date_time_inputs I encourage fellow web authors and browser implementers to add their opinions/comments to that wiki page section.
