One of my favorite changes to django 1.6 was making all the form inputs
render to html5 types:
{{{
The default widgets for EmailField, URLField, IntegerField, FloatField and
DecimalField
use the new type attributes available in HTML5 (type='email', type='url',
type='number').
Note that due to erratic support of the number input type with localized
numbers in
current browsers, Django only uses it when numeric fields are not
localized.
}}}
So the big question here is why was the date and datetime fields left out
if they all just fall back to rendering as text inputs anyway?

- http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/input.datetime.html
The untested change I think is simply:
-
https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/forms/widgets.py#L431
{{{
class DateInput(DateTimeBaseInput):
format_key = 'DATE_INPUT_FORMATS'
input_type = 'date'
}}}
and
-
https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/forms/widgets.py#L435
{{{
class DateTimeInput(DateTimeBaseInput):
format_key = 'DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS'
input_type = 'datetime'
}}}
