However adding “gloss” to a form control that replaces it (often in an inferior manner) is not something I can advocate.

I think there’s plenty of room for improvement for browser form controls using CSS and JS, especially for some of the new HTML5 input types which are still quite rough around the edges, although shadow DOM should make a big impact here if/when it gains traction.
