Depends on the markup. If it is only one html element a subclass of
WATextInputTag might be the way to go. If you have more than one html
element use a component.

The css has to be included in the root somehow. All the standard ways
are possible here altough doing it in #updateRoot: of your date picker
component (if you decided to go with a component) will probably
include it several times if you have the component multiple times on
the "page". You might want to avoid this.
