Re: inline vs inline-block

I suspect that when XForms 1.0 came out, inline-block was not quite a thing
yet. For example [1] Firefox 2 from late 2006 had this behind a flag.

I don't know if the default should be inline-block though. In fact, I don't
know if any default is useful in practice, as you usually want to layout a
form in a very specific way and no default is likely to be acceptable.
