[Bug 18669] Switch from is= to <tag if a decision has been reached among implementers

https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18669

--- Comment #45 from Dimitri Glazkov <dglazkov@chromium.org> ---
Summarizing preliminary developer ergonomics analysis of the proposal in
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18669#c36:

* Two distinct syntaxes for custom elements, while isn’t anything new for HTML,
is a usability problem. Opinions on the severity of this problem vary.

* The proposal has a strong “either-or” force of slotting libraries into either
only providing things that extend existing HTML elements or only providing a
set of custom tags.

* The “is” syntax is awkward (a thing that’s like a tag name but is an
attribute that you can’t change) and more verbose than the custom tag.
