I agree. And this is why I think all this is well outside the scope of
CSS. Though I'd be fine with a note such as 'This property only affects
the rendering of content; it has no effect on the state of content that 
will be submitted on behalf of the user e.g. text-transform:uppercase
has no effect on the user name string submitted by a login page' if there
is reason to believe it helps.
