Hmm, I don't think I understand fully what you are saying.

Are you saying that "programmatic focus and keyborad operability" from
your initial email is about that these things must be provided by the
browser to the user via accessibility APIs? I.e. the browser must
allow the user to use keyboard navigation as well as use other
accessibility APIs to focus various parts of the date picker?
