Comment (by Nyiriland):

 Apologies for not attaching visual documentation previously (was a hurried
 submission).

 > I'm a bit curious about the suggestion that this form only inherits
 browser styling and *doesn't* inherit theme styling; that would be very
 unusual. Do you have an example of this?

 In regards to the form styling, I'm specifically saying the password form
 doesn't inherit the theme's global styles. Mainly, the submit button:

 [[Image(form-password.png)]]

 You can also see that in the markup above, the password input element is
 nested within the label element, which while technically valid, doesn't
 match the input/label markup pattern of the default comment form:

 [[Image(form-comment.png)]]

 At the least, I think changing the markup to inherit the theme's global
 block button styles could be a welcome improvement:
