In spoken English, "There should be" can express, depending on how it is
pronounced, either optimistic expectation that there is, or deprecated
expectation that there is not.  I was using the latter sense.

Since those controls are generally used in-line with formal or informal
labels, the HTML+CSS specifications should say that by default they are
treated as if they were squares into which an upper-case letter of the
current font would just fit, with that alterable in all the usual ways
by CSS.  Also, their glyphs should be selectable in the same manner as
list-blobs are.

One should not need to use images.  The mark ought to be selectable as a
character in the current, or styled font; most choices would be
unreasonable, but many would not.

After all, "input type=button" can be styled like any other text.

BTW, window.find() is amusing in its cross-browser variants.
