Extended details
Additional detail and explanation of the esoteric parts of normalize.css.
pre, code, kbd, samp
The font-family: monospace, monospace hack fixes the inheritance and scaling
of font-size for preformated text. The duplication of monospace is
intentional. Source.
sub, sup
Normally, using sub or sup affects the line-box height of text in all
browsers. Source.
svg:not(:root)
Adding overflow: hidden fixes IE9's SVG rendering. Earlier versions of IE
don't support SVG, so we can safely use the :not() and :root selectors that
modern browsers use in the default UA stylesheets to apply this style. SVG
Mailing List discussion
input[type="search"]
The search input is not fully stylable by default. In Chrome and Safari on
OSX/iOS you can't control font, padding, border, or background. In
Chrome and Safari on Windows you can't control border properly. It will apply
border-width but will only show a border color (which cannot be controlled)
for the outer 1px of that border. Applying -webkit-appearance: textfield
addresses these issues without removing the benefits of search inputs (e.g.
showing past searches).
legend
Adding border: 0 corrects an IE 8–11 bug where color (yes, color) is not
inherited by legend.
