This looks like what web developers have been waiting literally decades for. Possibly replacing (eventually) a bunch of JS libraries to make this all do what we want.

I don't have Chrome installed, but I'm curious how it handles multi-select fields, as I didn't see that in the example video.

Count me in. Most times it didn't matter to me but there were some cases when I wanted or needed them to have a specific style matching other elements and, yes, I could only do it -to the best I knew- with JS.

Let's see if it becomes widely supported.
