> Box-sizing should be border-box by default. It was for many years for >98% of the users when IE had near-total market dominance. But W3C rejected sanity and refused to fix the spec, insisting that IE should break every website on the planet and implement the W3C box model. This was a major PITA for anyone who cared enough to design a website that worked equally well in IE, Firefox, and Opera, which became an increasingly annoying problem as Chrome and Firefox gained in popularity. A great many developer hours (including mine) have been lost on the W3C's foolish stubbornness.
