The problem that I fear is that most of this work will go to waste since it is difficult to apply your own custom styles to the default experience for most input types. Instead of having to reinvent a date picker for every project I would love to be able to use the built in types, but they are usually too inflexible or have made suboptimal aesthetic choices. Is it too much to ask to be able to style a <select>, increase the size of the date picker, or to add animated stripes to a progress meter? I want it to be easy to make the web both beautiful and accessible but am glad for the slow and steady progress.
