Bug Description
Launchpad currently uses a proprietary "popcalxp" datepicker control. This should be replaced by something that we can customize, fix bugs in, and (eventually) open-source with the rest of Launchpad.
Ideally the new control should be based on <input type="date"> so that it is implemented natively in browsers that support it.

I'll confirm this. Not sure why it's assigned to Tom though. Mark looked at all the JS datepicker code he could find and decided to buy a license for the one we have because it was the best out there and he didn't want to spend development resources creating a FOSS version.
