Description Travis Leithead [MSFT] 2014-03-05 23:56:31 UTC 
In the Rendering section HTML5 recommends:

http://www.w3.org/html/wg/drafts/html/master/rendering.html#form-controls

[[
input[type="radio"], input[type="checkbox"], input[type="reset"], input[type="button"],
input[type="submit"], select, button {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}
]]

Gecko and Webkit browser also include: input[type="search"] to have box-sizing: border-box.

(Gecko's tools show this as -moz-box-sizing.)

For web compat (especially on Mobile) the recommended default for search input types should be changed to match reality.

Making this a higher priority to actively seek more feedback on from implementers and webdevs.
Comment 2 Travis Leithead [MSFT] 2016-04-25 15:44:03 UTC 
HTML5.1 Bugzilla Bug Triage: Fixed (sometime in the past). The recommendation is already in the spec.

If this resolution is not satisfactory, please copy the relevant bug details/proposal into a new issue at the W3C HTML5 Issue tracker: https://github.com/w3c/html/issues/new where it will be re-triaged. Thanks!
