That sounds odd and may cause rather unpredictable results (especilly if
you actually have "border", not "borders", which does not exist in CSS),
unless you have rules that set backgrounds and borders for input
elements that need them.

I beg your pardon? That would involve something external to CSS, either
client-side or server-side scripting.
Or do you mean that he or she wants to have a submit button _for which_
some previously formatting is not applied?
There is no way to "undo" things in CSS in general. You can override a
setting for a property by setting it to a specific value, but you cannot
tell browsers to apply their defaults, against any settings that might
exist elsewhere in stylesheets.
