Re: [whatwg/dom] Declarative Shadow DOM (#510)

My 2 cents about the name 'shadow' is that I do think the choice was rather confusing to freshpeople. I originally thought it talks about some advanced mechanism for creating a 'shadow image' that somehow derives its shape from another part of the DOM, which didn't invite me much to learn about it. Probably much more intuitive would be:

`<boundary>`, `<bound>` (these allude to [BoundedContext](https://martinfowler.com/bliki/BoundedContext.html), since this too is mostly about human concern boundaries), `<scope>`, `<fence>` `<barrier>` `<curtain>`

But I do appreciate it's too late to have the name consistent with API and historical documentation :(
