Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-pseudo-4] Proxying pseudo-elements as "real" (`<slot>`) elements (#12575)

I’m worried about overloading the `name` attribute like this, as it’s not a 1-1 match for how it currently interacts with a matching `slot` attribute (and are there sites in the wild that already use "::backdrop" or whatever other pseudo-element names in slot `name` attributes?). I think I’d want to use a separate attribute on the `<slot>` element or a new element entirely.

And I think it’s a bit hacky to require markup changes in order to get script access to your pseudo-elements. But I suppose it might end up being less hacky than whatever compromises we’d have to make in a more direct scripting solution.
