I don't really like that solution. To use it, I'd have to treat <input>
as if it where <input-text>; and what if someday there's an <input-text>
tag? I think this is exactly what psuedoclasses are for, so I think I'll
go with William Perry's solution.
(I'm not sure if <input-text> is even a valid tag, because it might be
the case that dashes aren't allowed; but if dashes aren't allowed in
tags, then I assume they shouldn't be allowed in CSS1, so in that case
you'd be changing the syntax recognized by the CSS1 parser.)
