Re: [WICG/webcomponents] "open-stylable" Shadow Roots (#909)

Clearly there's enough demand for this feature that it should be considered seriously. But I am personally unhappy with the unwillingness to embrace new platform paradigms offering truly useful and valid features because…Tailwind? Bootstrap. Yikes. I wish we could jettison legacy ideas of "all my CSS is always global" just as emphatically as we jettisoned float-based layouts or fixed-width templates or pixel sizing. As we've seen, it actually *is* possible to bring shared styles into shadow DOMs. The fact you can't do it "by default" is a feature, not a bug.

I already know mine won't be a popular opinion, but I'm sharing this because some people will wander into discussions like this and get the impression that "shadow DOM will break my website templates, yuck" and that's _just not true_. It merely takes some new up-front architectural work, work that people *should* learn how to do as a vital 2023+ CSS skill.
