Adding an attribute @datatype="xsd:date" to an xf:input renders the input with a box which, once clicked displays a calendar control.

The calendar is not really usable due to the way it is styled, it is transparent and any text following the control is shown through the date options.

See the attached form for an example.

Ideally there should also be an option to change the year easily as using the calendar to allow selection of a date of birth means the user would have to navigate back through years using the month links on the calendar.
