textarea and (text-)input behave differently from all other elements -
they shouldn't!
* In most browsers their font-size is larger than their parents (is
this even a CSS matter or a browser-specific bug?)
* While overflow applies to them, they have a fixed (read constant)
size forced upon them. textarea and input should be have no different
to divs, so CSS3 should allow declarations like
textarea {height:auto;max-height:40em;}
input {min-width:10em;width:auto;max-width:60em;}
to have textarea and input scale dynamically with its' contents.
Browser styles shall still default to fixed height and width to not
break old code.
* While (apparently) all other elements default to
box-sizing:content-box, most browsers default textarea and input to
box-sizing:border-box
(This is my first contribution to this list, so feel free to inform me
if I infringed any codes of conduct of this list ;-).)
