Although I am not quite sure if the concerns from that ticket (or
[https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/16630#comment:11 from 16630]) are
still valid (they were raised ten years ago), to my untrained eye
[[https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/date#browser_compatibility | browser
support for `<input style="date">`]] looks pretty solid now.
Regardless, my proposal is **not** to modify the existing `DateInput`, but
rather to introduce a **new** widget called e.g. `BrowserDateInput`.
- this circumvents any backward compatibility issues
- the class name gives a clear indication of what the new widget does
- looks like a relatively minor effort, which could nevertheless be of
great help to many people (considering the number of related questions on
the web).
It would be great if this ticket could be re-opened. :-)
