I agree. A couple of years ago I answered an SO question about how to style a <meter> tag cross browser[1]. It is kind of ridiculous the amount of vendor prefix one must use to achieve this. At this point I would even just settle on a standard so that I could have autoprefixer do this for me. Also both <progress> and <meter> would be an order of magnitute more usable if non-linear functions (such as sin(), cos(), pow(), exp(), etc.) were allowed as values in CSS transformation matrices so that I could use <meter> instead of <svg> when my designer wants the meter bar to look like a speedometer (which is a quite common, and a valid design choice). 1: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8094835/how-to-style-html5-meter-tag/56155547#56155547 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8094835/how-to-style-htm...
