Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-shadow] Confusing spec naming (#13360)

As every feature in that spec is related to the Shadow DOM, my suggestion is css-shadow-dom for the shortname and "CSS Shadow DOM Styling" for the title. This might be a bit of a mouthful, but it clearly expresses what it covers and it aligns with CSS Forms 1, CSS Scrollbars 1, and possibly others. (For completeness, the full names would then be css-shadow-dom-1 and "CSS Shadow DOM Styling Module Level 1".)

@fantasai As you initially said, it should just be "shadow" and not "shadow-dom" for the shortname, what was the reason behind that?
@tabatkins @fergald As editors of that spec, do you have an opinion?
