HTML5 must provide ways for other calendar types. e.g. The "Hijri" calendar is used throughout in Arab countries. The "Persian" calendar is used in Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The "Hebrew" calendar is used by Jews. So HTML5 must provide room for localization and internationalization of documents and web-pages.

That's indeed the whole point of the feature — to allow the browser to give the user calendar controls in their own locale. 61261 2 Ms2ger 2011-12-08 19:08:12 +0000 *** Bug 15110 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 61265 3 Ms2ger 2011-12-08 19:49:48 +0000 *** Bug 15110 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
