The ScheduleDatePicker class, which creates a date chooser for the task editor and similar UI elements, requires a Task as part of its constructor.  However, this is not a reasonable requirement when using this widget to help create a new task.  It requires a task in order to create a task.  Also, this is not consistent with how other, similar UI elements, such as the Notes widget, interact with the Task.

Registered key listeners etc. on the date picker do not get propagated to the child widgets.

The control does not have accessibility support, e.g. Alt+Down does not trigger the schedule menu.
