--- Comment #3 from Maciej Stachowiak <mjs@apple.com> ---
Reopening to reconsider defineElement.

I gave a bunch of rationale on the list for why defineElement was better than
registerElement:

Many people agreed, including Dominic from Google:
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webapps/2013OctDec/1032.html

The only rationale you gave for registerElement instead is this:
> Played with both. registerElement fit a bit better with the rest of the narrative.

Can you please either adopt defineElement or give some substantive reasoning
for why my arguments are wrong? I don't find "played with both" or "fit better
with the rest of the narrative" very convincing.
