Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-pseudo-4] Standardizing input[type="range"] styling (#4410)

Range input, in my opinion, lack vitale capabilities which can enhance UX, 
therefore I have enhanced it with features (HTML & CSS only):

My design solves some of the issues, that I, as an internet user, experience:

1. Unable to know the `value` of the range slide
2. Unable to know `min`/`max` values without manually moving the thumb to the edges
3. Unable to know `step` size without first moving the thumb

I want the user to know all these without having to first interact with the input control, and to achieve this knowledge, one must write a *lot* of CSS.

My understanding is that UI controls are meant to be as basic as possible, the bare minimum, so developers would expand upon it as they wish.

I would be happy if native inputs such as `range` would include out-of-the-box shadow-dom nodes such as included in my implementation, which developers could change/toggle without having to write/import tons of CSS.
