Re: [webcomponents] [Shadow]: Add "closed" flag to createShadowRoot (bugzilla: 20144) (#100)

Don't make it impossible for scripts to access nodes in or distributed in a shadow tree. Why? What if we want to have privileged chrome code modify or read content from a page, to alter or enhance a page's behaviour? What if we want to programmatically interact with nodes within a shadow boundary? If scripts have no access to these... this is impossible. It is essentially a form of DRM for any content on the web. The workaround is to recompile Chrome from source and revert changes that introduce these restrictions, in effect forking the browser.
