The border radius fix alone earns a bookmark. Most FLIP cards turn into a squished pill halfway through the move

Cursors for base appearance. CSSWG settled the long-standing debate: form controls with appearance: base get cursor: pointer when clickable, grab on range sliders, and not-allowed when disabled. #css #html

Now we've got an element *rendering* on the compositor, but that doesn't mean it's *animating* on the compositor. It's still animating on the CPU (main thread).
This means if the CPU gets busy with other work, the animation will stutter.
