Description

just as textfield allows you to override the default value for 'type', datefield should do the same.

this would allow you to specify "date" or "datetime" as per the html5 spec.

The only consideration for implementation is the integration of the 'hideTextField' attribute, but this could be mapped to a style declaration (style="display:none;") instead of changing the input type.
