sure, what you get with a custom element, is that the semantics are added
for you.
FYI I Asked a few friends who are screen reader users. they found the info
useful.
Now using the correct reverse question mark, THANKS!

Besides <sarcasm> is an exercise in suggesting we don't need a native

done using newer features of the open web platform, if one so desires.
Whether it is worthwhile, is in the eyes of the developer, and not
constrained by the stated tastes of commentators.
