Comment:

 > The referenced blog post mentions only the classic editor

 Quick Edit and Comments also use the same set of `touch_time()` fields. If
 browser and assistive technology support for `datetime-local` is good
 enough (in the future), I think that creating a new function could be
 better than editing `touch_time()`.

 > We could make some minor changes to this control to support things like
 the number pad on mobile devices

 I would like to add the `inputmode` attribute as a simple improvement now.
 I uploaded a patch to this ticket, but if closing as 'maybe later' makes
 more sense, my patch could move to a separate ticket.
