No, it's about explaining the rendering of <fieldset>.  The fact that
it renders inconsistently across browsers just makes the task more
difficult, but that's not the core point of the email.

No, it's not, because "appearance:none" isn't applied to the elements
by default, nor can it ever be.  The default styling still needs to be
explained somehow.
