roll our own select boxes?

[JonathanReeve]

<select> dropdown menus look different across browsers and operating systems. They can often clash with the style of a web page. To solve this problem, there are some JS / jQuery libraries that can allow for styling dropdowns. Disadvantages are that they aren't handled as natively on mobile OSes, and that this adds a new layer of complexity. But they're very pretty--see the select2 demo.

File against boilerplate?

Can probably exclude mobile with feature detection.

Good idea. I'll add it there, as well.
