 * Improvements to forms. We've written wrappers around `<input>`, `<textarea>`, `<option>`, and `<select>` in order to standardize many inconsistencies in browser implementations.

What is returned from `render()`` is not your actual composition of "child" components, it is merely a *description* of the children at a particular instance in time - a snapshot, if you will.
