Arg. This is a good point. And raises an issue. Currently I added the following:

  // If the input string is valid this function returns a valid
  // HTML5 date string for the specified type. HTML5 date strings
  // are a subset of ISO-8601.

However, I could instead have the function return a DateComponents object,
That would match the format function. Or a double value, representing
the milliseconds since the 1970 epoch (which can then be serialized
pretty easily by BaseDateTimeInputType. Do you have a preference for
once of the other types?
