Comment:

 Hi, I would like to jump in on this bug and say:

  * This issue is still valid in trunk/3.1. IMHO it's a bug, not
 enhancement. Granted, it's not a crash, but I find this bug very annoying
 as a plugin developer because I can't just add a field to the
 login/registration/etc. forms and set {{{class="input"}}} to inherit the
 default styles.
  * I've attached what I think is a simpler/better patch to fix.

 Ideally, would just have a rule for .input to style HTML input elements
 that are given class="input".

 This works, except for the background color, because the style for form
 sets background to #fff. So, my rule prepends body and form to .input to
 take precedence in the cascade. Since all <input> elements should be
 inside the <body> and <form> on these pages, it works without having to be
 placed inside particular IDs like previous patches.

 {{{
 -#user_pass,
 -#user_login,
 -#user_email {
 +body form .input {
 }}}
