The datepicker also shows the problem that using pseudo-elements as
styling hooks presents. The calendars presented on mobile browsers and
desktop browsers are radically different. Even if you wanted to
standardize certain hooks, there is literally nothing in common across
the implementations.
Maybe instead of coming up with one set of pseudo-elements that's limited
to the lowest common denominator we should have multiple completely
different sets of pseudo-elements for each kind of interface?
input::calendar.month-view-grid ::first-week-row {...} // typical desktop
style
input::calendar.spin-wheel ::month-spinner {...} // iOS style
(or any other syntax with cats/hats/dogs/pseudo-functions, as long as it
groups pseudo-elements per kind of calendar UI)
This way developers assuming date pickers are grids with a month view
could style specific pseudo-elements for this layout and mobile browsers
could ignore these styles completely.
