Re: [w3c/webcomponents] Generic programs can't reliably use/manipulate documents via the DOM (#640)

I disagree completely @mrmr1993, closed shadow DOMs just give developers the same abilities that built-in elements have. If a new built-in form element were created then Vimium wouldn't work with it either.  The solution here is to define an interface to interact with form elements that is generic enough that Vimium and others don't need to special case for every element type.  These are the events to listen to changes and the properties to get/set the element's underlying value. There's no reason why if my custom element (with a closed shadow) emitted those events and had the correct properties why Vimium wouldn't just work with those.
