More or less...

So, the basic agreement as I understand it:

* Normal elements change their prototype during adoption
* Custom elements get a callback to be able to implement the same thing

Now the outstanding questions:

* Should normal elements change their prototype at the same point in
time custom elements have the opportunity to change theirs, or should
it happen synchronously?
* Does it make sense that when subclassing a normal element this
automatic prototype changing aspect gets lost?
