Date select not functional in Safari

[richardolsson]

The call back after date <input> is not working as expected in Safari. It's not possible to type into the input, and there does not seem to be any calendar widget in Safari.

There is no quick fix for this. Safari on desktop simply does not support this input type, but at the same time it recognizes the attribute and does not seem to fall back to a regular text input (and even if it does, our validation code is likely to not work very well with text inputs). A fair amount of work will be required to make this work, and it's not reasonable to do it this close to the release of R15. Postponing to 16.
