What is the expected behavior?

Placeholders should always be small for date inputs since it defaults to: mm/dd/yyyy.

What is the current behavior?

Placeholder is large for the default value for date inputs.

What are the steps to reproduce?

The date input will get a picker. For now I'd suggest styling the label as if it was always filled in (that's what I do).

@msegers: I see, styling it though seems like an ugly hack to be honest... I added a pull that fixes the bug described above.
