Hi all. There's a PR to add examples using `<input type=date ...>` for `forms.DateInput`. https://github.com/django/django/pull/14905
Support for HTML5 input types was added a long time back now in #16630 <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/16630>. Back then there were various issues with localisation when **not** using type=text. See https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/16630#comment:11 and following discussion. The original mailing list thread is here <https://groups.google.com/g/django-developers/c/DENf3jq1F_w/m/LJvTMpbwoVQJ> . The goal is to say something succinct but accurate that covers both sides of "Why the default is type=text" and "What you need to consider using type=date". Can we solicit some input (🥁) on what issues folks hit? — specifically for DateInput the concern was the required date format (I think). It may well be that things have changed since 2012? (If so we might revisit #21470 <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/21470>.) Thanks.
