RE: Imperative API for Node Distribution in Shadow DOM (Revisited)

Nice work folks, and thanks for writing this up so quickly! Anne's Gist captured exactly what I was thinking this would look like.

One nit: it would be nice if the callback could be registered from _inside_ the shadowRoot, but I couldn't come up with a satisfactory way to do that without adding more complexity. :)

That's the second approach I mentioned.  Like I mentioned in the gist, this model assumes that redistribution is done by UA and only direct children can be distributed.  I realized that those constraints are no longer necessary given we don't have content select or multiple generations of shadow DOM.
