With a nice visual date picker, the UI for picking a month or a week is probably quite different from the UI for picking a day, which in turn would be different from the UI for picking a time, or a date and time together. For instance, a day picker would probably only show you month or possibly a 2 or 3 months at a time, whereas that would not make sense for a month picker. Just having a type-in box with no visual picker would result in a control that would likely not be usable for the kinds of sites where you enter dates.</div>
