Thanks for the advice, Dave.

> I am not sure I agree with introducing a CSS property that inevitably results in rendering errors, but I guess it’s fine if ports that don’t want the broken behavior can disable it.

What "rendering errors" will I run into?  I know there will be errors when text changes styles, for links etc, but I am only trying to remove the rounding hacks inside text controls (<input> and <textarea>), where there won't be any links.  Am I missing something?

Thanks,
