This seems similar to generated content from pseudo-elements, but I
can't see a good way to reuse that code for this purpose (I guess it's
done by iterating over fake children so flows are created). What's the
best way to go about this?
I figured that if we were going the Web Components-ish route for form
controls then the component logic (written in JavaScript) would just
extract the value of the "value" attribute and copy it to a text node
under the input element.

Right, but that's predicated on the existence of Web Components which is
going to be a gigantic project in all likelihood. I'm just seeing how
useful some small form control code written in Rust ends up being, but
I'm stuck on the layout bits.
