Comment (by F J Kaiser):

 Nice to see progress.

 Replying to [comment:34 helen]:
 > I did not change the current selectors for login styling - I'm not sure
 we really need to or should, but open to more discussion.

 There are quite some inconsistencies in the generated MarkUp by `wp-
 login.php`, which we should prepare to remove. Example:

 {{{
 echo '<div id="login_error">' . apply_filters( 'login_errors', $errors ) .
 "</div>\n";
 echo '<p class="message">' . apply_filters( 'login_messages', $messages )
 . "</p>\n";
 }}}

 IDs vs. classes or assuming one vs. many.

 The naming scheme in place is equally inconsistent, see those examples for
 "password":

 {{{
 <form id="lostpasswordform"
 <form id="resetpassform"
 <p class="message reset-pass">
 <input type="password" name="pass1" id="pass1"
 <input type="password" name="pass2" id="pass2"
 <div id="pass-strength-result"
 <p id="reg_passmail">
 <input type="password" name="pwd" id="user_pass"
 }}}

 We should really try to introduce parallel classes to allow us to mark all
 the inconsistent stuff to be marked as deprecated.

 And we should think about a prefix that allows us to consistently
 determine which action we're currently targeting.

  * {{{password--lost__*}}}
  * {{{password--reset__*}}}
  * {{{login__*}}}
  * {{{register__*}}}

 At least this ticket would offer us a good chance.
