While the execution is very great, I really think it’s too close to being a scam along the lines of those fake virus protection things. I can’t endorse it, because it just doesn’t feel right. Imitating browser ui seems bad karma, no matter how or why you do it.

This looks very interesting, although there by now are quite a lot of browser testing tools.

Extensive research by Peter-Paul Koch on the complications with HTML5’s draft spec for the time
element on the subject of historical dates.
Of course, HTML5 actually has a solution for this: don’t. They are very specific about time
not being available for pre-Gregorian dates, but ppk’s proposal is interesting nonetheless, and I believe it is well worth considering adding the calendar
attribute to time
, and being somewhat flexible about the input. The problem with flexible input is of course that people misuse it.
