I think both are issues. I.e. I think we have two separate use cases: 1. Enable using the built-in rendering of form controls, but style them using author-supplied CSS. 2. Enable completely replacing the rendering of form controls I think 1 is *really* hard. Maybe hard enough that we can't do it. But I think it would help the web a lot if we could pull it off, so I think we should try. And I think is=... is the wrong solution for 2. As is wrapping the control with custom elements. You should be able to attach a replacement style using CSS. This is what decorators is, which so far no one is working on afaict. / Jonas
