Re: [w3c/webcomponents] Generic programs can't reliably use/manipulate documents via the DOM (#640)

> Closed shadow DOM is VERY useful in masking the author from the unnecessary details of the internals of standard HTML elements

I think the "standard" part here is important: how is any code not written by the document author supposed to deal with the myriad possible non-standard elements otherwise? The specs dictate that the standard elements should behave in the manner anyway, with or without a closed shadow DOM feature.

I'll concede an edit, regardless.
