Re: CfC: Face to face meeting on Components, 21 June

Thanks for the announcement, Chaals!

Since we will only have a day for this Awesome Web Components Party
(even less than a full day, technically), I want to narrow the topic
down a bit to Shadow DOM and CSS interaction. Here's a quick problem
statement.

There are currently several places where Shadow DOM and CSS interact
with each other:
* The shadow tree encapsulation boundaries affect style resolution
* There are switches, such as resetStyleInheritance that provide
controls of how the style is affected
* There's a new @host at-rule, which provides a way for a shadow tree
to affect styling of the shadow host
* There's a new ::distributed() pseudo-element function, which
provides a way for a shadow tree to affect style of the elements,
distributed into insertion points
* There's a method for defining custom pseudo-elements

As real Web developers started poking around the spec and
implementation, a new set of questions/ideas arose (listed in no
particular order):

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21391
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21486
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=21959
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=20600
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18435

I thought it would be good to throw some CSS, Shadow DOM, and Web
developer peeps into one large cauldron, season with whiteboards and
felt markers, and stir it vigorously--while maniacally cackling, of
course!--to see what new ideas could come out.
