He's talking about this:
| <label>Control: <input></label>
When you hover over the <input>, the parent is set to "display:
none", so the <input> is hidden as well, but that stops the hover, which
causes the element to reappear...
Same thing can occur when changing the size of the <label>, so
ideally there would need to be a limitation on what properties you could
use with this selector. Outline, background and other would be
unaffected, but anything that can change the bounding box size is a no-no.
