Almost every custom element I've seen so far has:

<style>
  :host { display: block }
</style>

inside the ShadowRoot, or a rule in the owning page that makes it into display:
block since the default of display: inline for unknown elements is really never
want you want. I've also seen lots of authors stumble trying to figure out why
their custom elements look busted when they first start before they realize
they all need this rule.

I think we should consider add some kind of pseudo like :custom and then say
the UA sheet has :custom { display: block } to make this simpler.
