Expectation: support the date picker widget and native controls
Rationale: Users need to be able to operate the the date picker widget.
Strength of these expectations for different types of assistive technologies:
- Screen Readers: MUST
- Voice Control: MUST
Notes: This expectation covers both the date picker widget and the embedded native controls implemented by some browsers. For example, some browsers include multiple tab stops, one each for the day, month, and year, as well as a date picker popup. Because browsers are not consistent with how these controls are implemented, they are lumped into one expectation. This expectation passes if all controls have a name, role, value, and other appropriate semantics passed. Reality check: a user can use all provided controls and successfully enter a date.
