It is currently difficult to control the visibility of the UI (e.g. little
arrows, spinners, etc) on new input types like datetime, number, range,
color, etc.
It seems that many developers want to use the semantic attributes, but need
to be able to hide the little arrows for various reasons, and
The only thing I've seen in a spec was CSS3 System Appearance, but it had
poor support and was ultimately removed.
2 years ago, I contacted people from Mozilla, Google, Microsoft, and Opera
about this, but I haven't seen any real progress. A few weeks ago, support
for input type=week/month landed

The idea is for Web Components or XBL or some such solution to be the
solution to this.
