Re: [csswg-drafts] Are form controls replaced elements? (#12876)

They aren't replaced elements from the perspective of layout engines anymore. Form controls once behaved more similar to replaced elements, however (at the request of FF I believe) engines moved the rules for form-controls closer to non-replaced (which IMO was a good thing).

Likely we need a definite term for these things, we've previously used "semi-replaced" which IMO is too confusing, likely just "form control" or "widget" is fine.
