Make Date* controls use 2-digits for day and month (and other improvements)

[tomsontom]

Hi,

Comparing the Date-Input types with https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/input/date - it would be nice if one could control that for day and month 2-digits are used (this would reduce the white-gaps).

Another nice to have would be if a monospaced font could be used (the native control uses also monospace if not mistaken) but I understand that this probably won't match the Spectrum styles.

Current:

2-digits:

2-digits + monospace (used Source Code Pro):

Zero prefixing is locale specific. It is expected in some regions and not others, so it happens automatically depending on that.

Well I think this 1 or 2-digit thing is true if you display a date in a label but not if you edit a date.

I can once more only point to the native input who also uses 2-digits.

Oh and my locale is German/Austrian

AFAICT chromes native date picker isn't localized at all though, so I'm not sure it's a good example to follow.

well FF is

note the german terms for the day names and that the week starts with monday? And that the order is dd.mm.yyyy (can also be seen by the format if empty)

and Chrome is too

@devongovett Not sure you saw my latest comments native chrome and Firefox (both locale aware) disagree with your statement on 0 prefixes.
