At what point do we stop trying to fit the text into the element, though?  A
style of "width: 1px"?

If we changed the font metrics (kerning, etc.) to match Firefox, would these
pop-up buttons look out-of-place with the rest of the page in Safari?

Unless we can make a one-time change to the font metrics, it seems like this
would be a slippery slope.

Another solution may be to use an ellipsis if we know the text won't fit in the
width provided (assuming the ellipsis would fit itself!).

Does HTML5 have anything to say about fitting text into a pop-up button when
you start changing the width style (on any input element)?
