Re: [w3c/webcomponents] Why must the is="" attribute exist? (#509)

(@Zambonifofex it's generally not clear to me what you mean when you say "this", which makes it hard to engage)

I've tried breaking the Web, at the turn of the century when it was smaller, to do something that would have been really useful. It failed. For pretty much the reasons given by people who say "you can't break the web".

Although user agent developers are less reluctant to break things than they were a decade ago, they're still *very* reluctant, and I believe with very good reason.

I think a strategy reliant on breaking the Web to fix it is generally a non-starter, even if the alternatives are far more painful.
