--- Comment #50 from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> ---
Looks good to me. The spec should have a non-normative section that tries to
explain to authors that for use cases on the "application" end of the spectrum
it's probably ok to use the element name form, and that for use cases on the
"document" end of the spectrum it's better to use the is="" form so that tools
don't have to process the component declarations to work out what's going on.
(On top of the more immediate problem authors will run into with not being able
to use custom tags in situations like <table>, of course.)
