+The `MdDatepickerInput` directive adds `aria-haspopup` attribute to the native input element, and it
+triggers a calendar dialog with `role="dialog"`.
+
+`MdDatepickerIntl` includes strings that are used for `aria-label`s. The datepicker input
+should have a placeholder or be given a meaningful label via `aria-label`, `aria-labelledby` or
+`MdDatepickerIntl`.

+### Accessibility
+By default, the toolbar assumes that it will be used in a purely decorative fashion and thus sets
+no roles, ARIA attributes, or keyboard shortcuts. This is equivalent to having a sequence of `<div>`
+elements on the page.
+
+Generally, the toolbar is used as a header where `role="header"` would be appropriate.
+
+Only if the use-case of the toolbar match that of role="toolbar", the user should add the role and
+an appropriate label via `aria-label` or `aria-labelledby`.
