Maciej deserves all the credit. Something about the way you say "credit" makes it sound suspiciously like "blame". In either case, I think I was the one to raise the styling of form controls, and the mechanism of using pseudo-elements, at least in this context... so I'll claim some of that credit/blame. :) >> It will be interesting indeed to hear what the CSS WG has to say in this >> matter, and whether any progress can be made here.

I think it will be mixed, with some in favor and some opposed. There are good reasons for and against it. I think the chief objection will be that the CSS WG is already overworked with what they have on their plate, which is another reason a joint task force might be a good idea... it could draw on interested parties from the HTML WG to do some of the tedious cataloging of possible pseudo-elements, to help the CSS WG out. (If you don't see any more posts from me, it's because Glazou murdered me for my role in this.) Regards- -Doug Schepers W3C Team Contact, SVG and WebApps WGs
