Re: [w3c/webcomponents] The is="" attribute is confusing? Maybe we should encourage only ES6 class-based extension. (#509)

Personally I think it's a bit silly and I have had debates about it with people in the past.  But a lot of devs do feel strongly that it matters.  Just look at the debates on Javascript module import Syntax.  We have the fat arrow because it cuts down on character count, etc.

Specifically:
`customElements.define('fancy-button', FancyButton);`

Is more DRY than:

`customElements.define('fancy-button', FancyButton, {extends: 'button'});`
