[w3ctag/design-reviews] inert attribute (#610)

Wil sha TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of the `inert` attribute.

A node (in particular elements and text nodes) can be marked as inert. When a node is inert, then the user agent must act as if the node was absent for the purposes of targeting user interaction events, may ignore the node for the purposes of find-in-page, and may prevent the user from selecting text in that node. User agents should allow the user to override the restrictions on search and text selection, however.

The `inert` attribute is a boolean attribute that indicates, by its presence, that the element and all its shadow-including descendants is to be made inert.
