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

Wow, thank you @thebabydino for these detailed, wonderfully illustrated posts. This is amazing.

@MostafaFawzy7 Another example of a circular slider is often found in color pickers, for the hue:

However, I’m not sure this kind of styling is in scope for range input styling. I think this will probably still be best left to web components.

Standardizing the structure in OpenUI and the pseudo-elements in CSS (or a TF) seems like a good plan forwards. That said, I believe the original thinking behind calling this a "range" input and not just "slider" was that different UAs may want to use different UIs for selecting a number from a range. In practice this has not happened, and all have gone with a slider representation, but theoretically this is still possible. Whatever wording this standardisation effort uses should still allow for innovation in that space.

Logistics-wise, Open UI is currently structured as a CG, right? CGs cannot publish specs. It seems reasonable (and useful) to also have an Open UI WG. Is that something people are interested in?
