   @zachleat Eh, it could be worse.
   It could be `<input type="div">Hello!</input>` or something.

               @tylersticka @zachleat That reminds me of the Twitter days when we tried to figure what'd be needed to use <button> elements as <div>s... Somehow, sweet memories!

    TBH I kinda like that along with the suggested use for combo

    <input type=“image”> would also have been nice for clickable thumbs - oh wait
