The reasons given for handling this as an attribute rather than in CSS (even though it is about presentation and otherwise would belong in CSS):
- DOM modifications that depend on CSS computed values are messy/difficult to implement
- We need to be able to style differently depending on whether the element is basic or not, and an attribute allows for selecting against that.
- An attribute is less likely to create the forwards-compatibility problem that rules like `* { appearance: base }` would create if only some form elements supported basic rendering and others didn't.
