Re: [w3c/webcomponents] Editor support for WebComponents (#776)

@runem awesome write up :)

I think that we should open a repo somewhere, possibly in the /webcomponents/ GitHub org, to specify the custom-elements.json format. Then we can have a page the the format description, multiple issues, PRs, etc.

Also, as a really high-level point about the format: The set of information we need for web components is a superset of what's needed for JavaScript/TypeScript in general. This is especially clear when you consider class methods and properties and their types. Web components are just classes with extra structured API surfaces.

I'm not aware of any well-specified format for JS docs, but the output format of the Microsoft API Extractor seems like a good start to me: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@microsoft/api-extractor It would be ideal to me to have both a specified JS/TS analysis format, and a web components extension to it.
