[csswg-drafts] [css-forms] Should button-like elements align-items: center? (#13623)

lukewarlow has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts:

== [css-forms] Should button-like elements align-items: center? ==
We don't do any form of vertical alignment on button-like elements, this can lead to weird behaviour if your font-size is set such that the text doesn't fill the block-size of the element.

`data:text/html,<select style="appearance:base-select"><option checked>Foo</option></select><style>body { font-size: 8px; }</style>`

<img width="207" height="136" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4ac9de30-aa5b-4c05-966a-e85a477e0ea1" />

Should we add `align-items:center`? Which would make it look like:

<img width="198" height="136" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/6e5d7077-24ab-4935-b6e4-9b3f37e7e6a0" />
