title: html5 forms with polyfills - is it worth it?
body: <p>Despite all of the buzz around html5 forms, it seems to me like you are creating extra work, in most scenarios, by going this route. </p>
  
  <p>Take, for example, a datepicker field. The native html5 implementation of this renders differently in every browser.  In addition your polyfilled solution (jquery UI for instance), for a browser not supporting this feature, will also render differently.</p>
  
  <p>Now, we have introduced multiple points of customization and maintenance for the same form, when we had a perfectly working and unified solution with jquery!</p>
  
  <p>I'd love to hear about some real world experiences in this area, because I'm getting annoyed with all of the buzz!</p>
