+1 on testing on the Mac in Safari, Firefox, Opera, and Chrome with and 
without t3skin and with and without USmode.

There are a few things that would nice to improve in the future but 
after talking with Steffen, its not currently worth the amount of effort 
that would be required.  Just writing them down for future reference...

* Date + Time fields always have the time set to 0:00 regardless of 
whether the field was blank or had an existing date and time
* The Today button shows the current date and time when hovered, but 
only the current date with a time of 0:00 is inserted. This is a little 
misleading

Thanks for the patch!
