I'm not sure if this has already been suggested, or if there is better
way to perform this task.  With CSS it would be convenient for there
to be a way to override the default styles for a particular input
type, instead of applying a generic class to all the inputs of that
type.

For example, if you wanted to make all the checkboxes on a page twice
their normal size use a class like:

input.checkbox {
    width: 200%;
    height: 200%;
}

<input type="checkbox"> 
<input type="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox">


Instead of:

checkboxStyle {
     width: 200%;
    height: 200%;
}

<input type="checkbox" class="checkboxStyle">
<input type="checkbox" class="checkboxStyle">
<input type="checkbox" class="checkboxStyle">


Thanks for your feedback,
Scott Andrews
