I get the reasoning of not using CSS for DOM building, but I think the end result of doing an attribute is that instead of doing this:
```
* { appearance: base; /* etc. */ }
```
Authors will just do this instead:
```
*[base]:base { /* etc. */ }
```
And if they have control over the HTML, they will add the base attribute to every form element whether it is currently supported or not.
And those without control over the HTML won't be able to take advantage of this feature.
I'd still rather have just a pseudo be the switch for whether or not to use the alternate DOM, when it is supported on that element.
Sorry I missed the meeting. It sounds like it was a very interesting conversation.
