Basis has the following in its base.css file:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
According to CSS-Tricks, this is an old method of setting box-sizing. There's an updated method that may be better:
html {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
*, *:before, *:after {
box-sizing: inherit;
}
This newer method not only helps with pseudo elements, but also allows easier overriding of box-sizing if need be (see the linked article for more details).
Can/should we update Basis to use the newer method?
