Fair enough, yes, you can access the "Shadow DOM" but since the "Original  
DOM" isn't modified scripts that are not aware of a "Shadow DOM" won't  
break and the semantics of the "Original DOM" stay the same since it isn't  
modified. Only through a special attribute you can get access to the  
rendering view.
