CSS or not, it should be declarative. The CSS UI module has similar
types of controls.

I don't think UAs can do inventive things - there's no solid
heuristics - though I'd be interested in being proved wrong. Websites
might be able to do smart and inventive things, but the whole point of
this suggestion is to make the most common thing trivial, because it's
actually a little tricky to get right. It doesn't stop them from
continuing to do even smarter things if they think they can pull it
off.
