Some forms element are presentational

Do you think the HTML spec should do something differently? You can discuss spec feedback here, but you should send it to the WHATWG mailing list or file a bug in the W3C bugzilla for it to be considered.

I understand that there are issues to keep everything compatible with previous standards, but I think that some stuff like forms elements have a presentational tag that's device dependent an perhaps should be rendered better with CSS or other mechanism, like the difference between using a checkbox/radiobutton list and a select list seems to be only in the shape, since he function is the same.

It's too late to change checkboxes, radio buttons, select boxes, etc, since they are widely deployed and widely used for over a decade now.
