It should still demonstrate proper HTML and it only takes a few seconds..

Why, exactly, should it demonstrate proper HTML?

The POINT is the glow. That the glow works on a form is by happenstance, I'd suppose, as that was the original inspiration. Regardless, it could be a glow behind a blank div and I'd be equally impressed.

The nit that you're picking is akin to tasting someone's new gumbo recipe, and complaining that they didn't use the good china.

Why should it demonstrate proper HTML? Because you're showing everyone how to do something.

Sites like http://css-tricks.com/ and http://nicolasgallagher.com/ don't show you how to make things with incorrect code, they show you how to make things with beautiful, semantic code.

It's a proof of concept, not a tutorial.

I think our interpretation of this is different. Your assertion is that she's trying to show people how to do something. My take is that she's showing people what she did.

"Proper HTML"? There are some minor problems with it, but the placement of the input tag isn't one of them.

Try validating it.
