Re: [svgwg] We should define the behavior of ‘use’ in terms of Web Components

@shepazu 

I don't think we want to revert the changes. That would be very 
unfortunate for long-term goals of improved interoperability.

If Shadow DOM spec doesn't stabilize, we may need to introduce a few 
additional details so that the use-element shadow DOM can be 
implemented without a normative reference to it.  Then we could have 
some informative paragraphs about how the two specs are intended.

PS, You'll need to confirm with the Shadow DOM editors, but the 
intention may be to simply integrate it in core DOM, instead of having
 a separate spec.  That is what's been done on WHATWG side.  In fact, 
we could probably make it a normative reference to the WHATWG DOM 
standard instead of to W3C Shadow DOM.  The only reason I didn't do 
that was because we have normative references to W3C DOM 4 elsewhere.
