Yup. Given two generally-positive reactions it's worth rounding this PR out as you suggest and taking it out of draft. Will do shortly. |

style: formbehaves in the context ofin: cookie, we can just definestyle: cookiethat does what makes sense. Regrettably, compatibility rules prevent changing the default.This is a draft because if this is accepted, there's a bit more tweaking to do, particularly with Appendix D.
