I've had terrible results with using an <input type='date' ... /> for choosing the birth date of users on a registration form. iOS would make this awesome control where I could scroll and choose the date in a nice way, but on Android, the control was just horrible and we kept getting complaints.
In the end, we choose the [day][month][year] dropdown set because it was the only one that didn't drive our users crazy. I really loved the iOS control though.
