Thanks Alex. I couldn't see the forest for the trees, as it were. As it turns out, the use of the id attribute is particularly amusing because there are four such forms on one page, and they are all significantly different.
When I resign myself to styling someone else's markup, I go partially blind! I didn't realise attribute selectors were CSS3, either. I think this adventure can go down as a lesson in bad practice.
