Re: [csswg-drafts] [cssom] [css-display] [css-values] Clarify behavior of window.getComputedStyle on detached subtrees, and the definition of "the root element".

> An element assigned to a slot doesn't inherit from the shadow host, but from the assigned slot. There's no spec that defines that in case it's not assigned to any slot it should inherit from the host, afaict.

Ah, that should probably be added then; more than likely it's just an oversight. Using their parent's style is the closest approximation of the behavior that would happen whenever it gets slotted, so that looks reasonable to me.

I'm fairly sure Edge is doing that, or is at least pretty close from that.

The testcase I provided shows that, at least in Edge, that does not matter. 

I agree that we should probably define what to do with media queries in that case. In Edge, we seem to evaluate everything as if the viewport was 0px by 0px.

http://jsbin.com/sitivicafo/1/edit?html,output (updated to work in Edge as we don't support srcdoc). We match Chrome and return the style you would get from applying the styles of the iframe.

I will admit I'm really perplexed with Firefox's behavior here. Applying the stylesheets of one document on another document doesn't seem relevant, and seems more like a bug than a feature.
