Description

From what I saw, the most requested feature (after styling) for which most developers prefer third-party date pickers (calendars) over native <input type="date"> is range support.

Multi range selection is also very useful feature in many cases.

Research direction

The issue identifies and a multi-range selection image, but names no files, tests, or entry points. First clarify the expected range semantics and standards scope; the work is done when range and multi-range support are specified well enough for implementation and validation.
