What I meant is that it's one thing to say that an element supports @appearance, and another to specify what a specific value of @appearance, such as `minimal` should do. I would say that yes, <alert> should support `appearance`. But I am not sure it makes much sense to show an alert as an HTML placeholder, which means that maybe we shouldn't say anything about `<alert appearance="minimal">`. But it doesn't mean that @appearance shouldn't be allowed as an attribute, as other values of @appearance, including custom ones, can make sense. -Erik
