> FWIW, I'd rather extend `Range` so that it can work with shadow host in general instead of creating a new interface specifically for form controls.

We explored extending Range, including shadow host support, but found compatibility and encapsulation issues that made it risky to change existing Range semantics. Based on feedback across discussions, we went with a dedicated FormControlRange instead. The trade-offs and alternatives are covered in the [explainer](https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers/blob/main/FormControlRange/explainer.md#extending-the-range-api-1st-approach).
