That's fine for text, password, and textarea because you can avoid it by setting size or cols. But for select there needs to be a way to avoid setting the width to 98% or 99% or whatever is decided. I'd prefer not having that happen at all, just leave them at the width the browser gives them (based on the width of the options), and let people set it to 99% in the stylesheet if that's what they want.
