I agree that entering a week is pretty rare, though. ;)
As someone working on supporting new input types in WebKit:
Supporting any one form of "date" is nontrivial, but supporting the
rest after you support the first _is_ trivial. So while I'm on the
"week is not that useful" bandwagon, it'll be simple to support once
"date" is supported.
It depends on the quality of implementation you want to deliver. With
a nice visual date picker, the UI for picking a month or a week is
probably quite different from the UI for picking a day, which in turn
would be different from the UI for picking a time, or a date and time
together. For instance, a day picker would probably only show you
month or possibly a 2 or 3 months at a time, whereas that would not
make sense for a month picker. Just having a type-in box with no
visual picker would result in a control that would likely not be
usable for the kinds of sites where you enter dates.
