 ## Background
 
 The `<select>` element does not provide enough customization for web developers, which leads them to implement their own. These implementations can lead to reduced performance, reliability, and accessibility compared to the native form control elements. More on that is in [Custom Control UI](https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers/blob/main/ControlUICustomization/explainer.md#introduction).
 
-The [2020 MDN browser compatibility report had feedback](https://mdn.dev/archives/insights/reports/mdn-browser-compatibility-report-2020.html#findings-form://mdn.dev/archives/insights/reports/mdn-browser-compatibility-report-2020.html#findings-forms) that form controls are neither interoperable nor stylable. `<selectlist>` will be fully interoperable and stylable.
+The [2020 MDN browser compatibility report had feedback](https://mdn.dev/archives/insights/reports/mdn-browser-compatibility-report-2020.html#findings-form://mdn.dev/archives/insights/reports/mdn-browser-compatibility-report-2020.html#findings-forms) that form controls are neither interoperable nor stylable. Stylable `<select>` will be fully interoperable and stylable.
+
+## Opting in to the new behavior
+
+The `<select>` element will continue to behave as it currently does unless a `<button>` or `<datalist>` element is provided as a child of the `<select>`. `<button>` elements replace the native button which opens the listbox, and `<datalist>` replaces popup listbox. By replacing the native components with regular web content, the contents are fully stylable and customizable.
+
+Here is a basic `<select>` element today:
+```html
+<select>
+  <option>one</option>
+  <option>two</option>
+</select>
+```
+
+And here the same `<select>` with opt ins to the new stylability behavior which this explainer proposes:
+```html
+<select>
+  <button type=select>
+    <selectedoption></selectedoption>
+  </button>
+  <datalist>
+    <option>one</option>
+    <option>two</option>
+  </datalist>
+</select>
+```
 
 ## Use cases
 
 ### Customizing basic styles
 
-This example changes the fonts and colors of various parts of the button and listbox parts of the selectlist. The existing `<select>` element will not incorporate these basic styles into its rendering.

-## Styling selectlist
-
-Selectlist provides a variety of tools to help with styling, including pseudo-selectors for different states and pseudo-elements for different parts.
-
-### Styling parts of the control
-
-Selectlist supports a variety of pseudo-elements to target its different parts:
-- `::button` - Targets the button slot.
-- `::listbox` - Targets the `<listbox>`.
-- `::marker` - Targets the dropdown arrow of the default supplied button.
-- `::selectedoption` - Targets the `<selectedoption>` element.
-
-Each of these pseudo-elements will target the default part if the author doesn't provide their own replacement. If the author provides their own, these pseudo-elements will target the author provided part.
-
-```html
-<style>
-  .my-select-list::button {
-    color: white;
-    background-color: #f00;
-    padding: 5px;
-    border-radius: 5px;
-  }
-
-  .my-select-list::listbox {
-    padding: 10px;
-    margin-top: 5px;
-    border: 1px solid red;
-    border-radius: 5px;

   background-color: green;
 }
-selectlist:closed #custombutton {
+select:closed #custombutton {
   background-color: red;
 }
 </style>
 ```
 
-## Using your own markup
-
-You can further customize the control to fit your needs by providing your own markup to replace the default one, and extend and re-order the parts.
+## Additional examples
 
-### Default behavior
-
-The default behavior of `<selectlist>` mimics the behavior and minimal required markup of the current `<select>` element. For instance, the following markup demonstrates the bare minimum necessary to render a `<selectlist>`:
-
-```html
-<selectlist>
-  <option>Option 1</option>
-  <option>Option 2</option>
-  <option>Option 3</option>
-</selectlist>
-```
-
-When doing so, the default button, `<selectedoption>`, and `<listbox>` are created for you. As with the current `<select>` element, the initial `<option>` will be returned as the `<selectedoption>`.
-
-If one wanted to create groupings of options, then the following minimal markup could be used:
-
-```html
-<label for=ex2>My second example</label>
-<selectlist id=ex2>
-  <optgroup>
-    <legend>Fruits</legend>
-    <option>Apples</option>
-    <option>Oranges</option>
-  </optgroup>
-  <optgroup>
-    <legend>Vegetables</legend>
-    <option>Carrots</option>
-    <option>Onions</option>
-  </optgroup>
-</selectlist>
-```
-
-Note that with the `<select>` element a `label` attribute would have been used to provide the label for the `optgroup`. Being an attribute, this limited authors to using text alone to label their option groups. With the `<selectlist>` the `<legend>` element, rather than the `label` attribute, is how one would provide the label for the option group.
-
-
-### Slotting your own content
-
-The browser uses imperative slotting to replace default parts with author supplied ones. For example, to replace the default button with your own, you can do the following:
+Here is an example which has a custom button with custom CSS:
 
 ```html
 <style>
-  .my-custom-select .buttoncontainer {

   }

-The selectlist element is a [form-associated element](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#form-associated-element), which means that it can be used to build and submit forms just like the existing `<select>` element.
-
-### IDL
-
-The following IDL is used for selectlist. Most items which are named the same as items for other form-associated elements behave in the same way.
-
-```webidl
-interface HTMLSelectListElement : HTMLElement {
-  readonly attribute boolean open;
-
-  readonly attribute HTMLOptionElement? selectedOption;
-  attribute DOMString value;
-  [CEReactions, Reflect] attribute boolean disabled;
-  readonly attribute HTMLFormElement? form;
-  [CEReactions, Reflect] attribute DOMString name;
-  readonly attribute DOMString type;
-  [CEReactions, Reflect] attribute boolean required;
-
-  readonly attribute boolean willValidate;
-  readonly attribute ValidityState validity;
-  readonly attribute DOMString validationMessage;
-  boolean checkValidity();
-  boolean reportValidity();
-  void setCustomValidity(DOMString error);
-  void showPicker();
-
-  readonly attribute NodeList labels;
-};
-```
-
-### The `selectedOption` and `value` attributes
-
-`selectlist.selectedOption` returns the currently selected `<option>` element. This is unlike `<select>` which has a `selectedOptions` property and returns a list of selected options because selectlist only supports one selected option at a time.
-
-Just like the `<select>` element, `selectlist.value` returns the `value` property of the currently selected option.
-
-### The `disabled`, `form`, `name`, `required`, and `labels` attributes
-
-These IDL attributes behave exactly as they do for other form-associated elements as specified by HTML:
-* [HTML spec for `disabled`](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#enabling-and-disabling-form-controls:-the-disabled-attribute)
-* [HTML spec for `form`](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#attr-fae-form)
-* [HTML spec for `name`](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-control-infrastructure.html#attr-fe-name)
-* [HTML spec for `required`](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/form-elements.html#attr-select-required)
-* [HTML spec for `labels`](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/forms.html#dom-lfe-labels)
-
-### The `type` attribute
-
-Like other form control elements, selectlist supports the `type` attribute. It simply returns `"selectlist"`.
-
-### Validity IDLs
-
-Like other form control elements, selectlist supports validity checking attributes and methods as specified by HTML:
-* [HTML spec for `willValidate`](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-cva-willvalidate)
-* [HTML spec for `validity`](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-cva-validity)
-* [HTML spec for `validationMessage`](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-cva-validationmessage)
-* [HTML spec for `checkValidity()`](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-cva-checkvalidity)
-* [HTML spec for `reportValidity()`](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-cva-reportvalidity)
-* [HTML spec for `setCustomValidity()`](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-cva-setcustomvalidity)
-
-### The `showPicker` method
-
-Like other inputs, selectlist supports the `showPicker` method. This method is used to show the listbox. It requires user activation.
-
-## Why not improve `<select>`
-
-Instead of creating a new `<selectlist>` element, we could improve the existing `<select>` element to meet the same needs. However, there are a few problems with this (borrowed from the [Custom Controls UI Explainer](https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers/blob/main/ControlUICustomization/explainer.md)):
-
-- Changing the parsing behavior for `<select>` to allow other element children by default would likely break a lot of old sites that depend on the current behavior.
-- While it might be possible to modify the parser to change rules based on the existence of an opt-in attribute, there would be additional work to be done if JavaScript added or removed that attribute after the fact.
-- The `<select>` popup has the capability to break outside the browser window, and `<selectlist>` will not. If the author wants this capability, they will have to stick with `<select>`. If the author would rather have custom styling, then they should use `<selectlist>`. This is a big differentiation and is more than just an opt-in for styling, so havingt a separate tag name than an opt-in attribute makes more sense.
-
-Given that we would be required to introduce something new into the platform (attribute, element, etc) to opt-in to the new behavior; we opted for a new element. This comes with the added benefit that over the years most developers that want customization of controls and components will not leverage `<select>` at all; akin to how developers leverage `grid` and `flex` display types for layout instead of `<table>` or `float`. Additionally, this has the potential to simplify the implementation cost since we do not have to make substantial changes to the current `<select>` parser
