At least in the case of the WebKit project, interest in styling form controls is not sudden. As I mentioned in an earlier email, it's something we've been working on in our implementation for years. However, your analysis of the tradeoffs between built-in semantic elements and hand-rolled controls, as well as the WebKit project's recent progress on implementing new HTML5 form controls, has made these issues much more salient.
