As with everything related to form controls, there is no (css) spec *stamp* on 
it. This particular case has grown out of practice and mutual reverse 
engineering.

HTML5 4.10 gives a complete description of form controls (but, as expected, not 
really about their display).

CSS2.1:3.2 
The last paragraph is relevant here :-p.
