Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] CSS inert (Issue #1055)

scottaohara left a comment (w3ctag/design-reviews#1055)

some quick things here as a comment  of mine is being cited a bit.
1. for the most recent reference in alice's previous comment - i'm happy to see that an update to the UA stylesheet for customizable select would help prevent authors from undoing the inertness of the custom select's button part - which was made inert very much on purpose and should not be able to be undone by authors. 
2. i want to call out that the use cases I mentioned / have been cited also have me stating "I am also totally fine with CSS not being the way to do that"  - and so that makes sense out of context: I did not and do not strongly believe CSS is the only way to solve these use cases. I will acknowledge that at the time, it was a way that seemed worth considering.  I say this because I want to make it clear that while I would like a solution for these use cases - I would be perfectly fine with alternatives (even if they weren't all immediately available). Per the very real concerns of misuse / pitfalls, I feel it's important I state that I am much more on the side of not wanting to introduce a feature that could potentially be problematic and misused. Especially since it would be unlikely to walk back once it was release into the wild.
