Lachlan, that's an interesting take, which at first glance does seem
like the right approach. There would need to be some guidance as to
how tall the object needed to be to switch behavior.

This issue is probably best addressed within CSS, possibly by adding
more suitable values to the 'appearance' property, or possibly even
picking an appropriate rendering simply based on the 'height' and
'width' of the control, much like a type=range control switches from
a horizontal to vertical slider if the width is narrower than the
height.
e.g. If the styling makes the dimensions too high for rendering as a
drop down style widget, the UA could switch to a layout that shows
the whole calander for a month or two instead of a drop down.
