I also have to target the inputs that use an unrecognized type, like type=date in most current browsers. I can't naively do input[type=date], because if the browser *does* support type=date I very likely want to style it differently. As well, if more new input types appear, I'll have to update the styles anywhere I use it. Finally, if I want to do anything more than a simple input selector, it'll become massively complicated and unwieldy and introduce the strong possibility of typo bugs. So, yeah, it's a difficult issue. ~TJ
