Now fire up Safari and Camino side-by-side, and notice how both browsers
display form elements the way that the user expects - nice and shiny,
rounded blue - easy to tell apart from the occasional "You are infected"
etc pop-ups with an image of a Windows button.
This is because the form elements come from the OS, not from the
browser.
With respect to form elements, I believe you will find that what the
proper Mac browsers do is perfectly 'legal'. What is more, Windows users
don't generally appreciate it when form elements are styled so strongly
that they are no longer recognisable, which is why so many usability
(and I don't mean accessibility) guru's advice is: don't do it.
Regards,
Mike

The form elements come from the browser, not the API. fire up
safari and firefox on your mac and you will see this. Safari has that
silly round button thing and firefox has a more windowsy set of form
elements.
two: you can style form elements in css but safari doesn't play
as well as firefox does in honouring your display.
