I can think of input[type=text] with a border radius, in order to get
a lozenge-shaped text field. I would expect it to be clipped so that
whatever was behind it would show through at the corners outside of
the curved border. I'm not sure how you would specify curved left
corners on a text-area though, since it is already pretty much an
overflow:auto (or in some implementations an overflow:scroll).

I agree with that last sentence.
