Re: [webcomponents] Rename custom tag (#434)

I'm not sure if this is up for discussion, but it feels just wrong that the concept of what is currently known as "type extension elements" is expressed in DOM with inheritance rather than composition. I would make a clear distinction between custom elements that have been defined from scratch and standard elements that have been augmented with mixins/traits.

The current approach makes it hard to reason about custom elements and I'm afraid that introducing a new terminology won't make things much simpler.
