Re: [w3c/webcomponents] Why do we really need hyphens? (#658)

IMHO the requirement of hyphenated names for custom elements is like requiring underscore-prefixed variables names in JavaScript in order to declare `const`. And the namespacing-collision thing is kind of the same argument. I'm sure it's possible there were JS libraries who declared `Map` as an object name before that was introduced, yet there's no restriction there on what people can call things because of collision fear.

The convenience of hyphen-less elements greatly outweighs the down-the-road concern that some element with the same name will be introduced. I agree it's part of what makes Vue so easy-to-use and keeps templates concise.
