It just seems like it ends up making these useful for utility stuff, but will just get ignored for most real projects. It's 2013, the idea that anything should not be able to be styled is ignoring the real world.

No, having identifiable form elements is freaking important, computers are hard enough for a novice to learn without the basic idioms change shape and meaning because designers want to get creative.

The real world needs consistent form inputs.

Also. Damn you firefox, Implement the bloody date input.
