Does this include `HTMLInputElement.prototype.set placeholder` and/or basic CSS properties with `::placeholder`?  If so, are there plans to add support for these?

The placeholder attribute is unsupported for date/time inputs in all browsers, as the behavior is unspecified. There are no plans to add support for these at this time.

It is something we could consider once a standard has been established, but that would require consideration of what acceptable values for the attribute would be.
