Re: [w3c/webcomponents] Allowing CSS combinators postfixed to the ::slotted() selector (#889)

What a disappointing arbitrary limitation. Let the browser-makers solve performance issues and write the spec to be ideal. WEAK!

I want complete control over the styling of slots and all their children. I wish there was a flag we could flip so that slots would ignore non-shadow styling. A slot is really just a really ugly argument to a function. If you pass something into my function (custom element) I should be able to do what ever I want to that input and all its children too.

The whole goal, for me, it to have ever aspect of my web component contain in one file and I don't like having to fool with document level CSS to style children of shadow slotted element. I can still do what I'm wanting with hack and tricks, but allowing shadow level CSS to style children of slotted elements would make the whole experience much nicer. What @trusktr has been saying is ideal to me.

Make the spec ideal and let the browsers-makers earn their money. They're smart enough to overcome the performance issues, so don't be so easy on them in the spec. This stuff is for the whole world. Let's impress the aliens when they arrive. Their web standards already do this!
