Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-forms-1] Should new pseudo-elements be restricted to base appearance mode? (#12365)

Following-up here perhaps disallowing them isn't the best approach. Perhaps we should just specify that in appearance:auto mode the browser can only expose the standard pseudo element if it matches how it behaves in base mode?

I do think you still have the issue where we might want them to be element backed which might be too prescriptive for auto mode.

I know @annevk had reservations about that.

I think given we've agreed that `::reveal-icon` is okay in auto mode perhaps we should just leave it up to browsers what they do?
