So, the use case is:

I am changing an element to "position: absolute" so I can animate its clip property. In order to do that, I need to lock in the element's width, in case it was width auto when it was relative or static and expanded to fill its container.

If the element happens to be an input, this then changes the margins of the input. I can work around this in 1 of 2 ways:
1. set the margin before setting the width, but this is less than ideal because I can't get the *computed* margin, only the used margin (from getComputedStyle), so I lose any auto-y goodness.
2. I can detect that it's an input, and assume it's got this intrinsic thing going on, but that seems like it comes with its own set of edge cases.

I currently have done #1 as my workaround.

I'll respond to the  IRC conversation in another comment. Thanks again for looking into this, guys!
