When speccing this I ended up just doing Construct(C) in createElement. I vaguely recall @annevk wanting to use the upgrading path for this, since it's a DOM method and so it should use the same nanotask infrastructure? @rniwa points out the difference is observable in edge cases where you construct yourself inside your constructor before calling super().
