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

Here's a couple stories from my own experience:
- "As a component author, I want to build _unstyled_ components that only manage _behavior_. I want to give my consumers full control and achieve maximum compatibility with their existing styling solutions. I am ok with the tradeoff that DOM changes can break consumer's styles."
- "As a website author, I want to use shadow DOM for my own components (that I author and consume myself). I want to use my existing CSS system, including any global resets, utility classes, and hand-rolled scoped classes. Crucially, I want these styles to be usable in DSD without causing FOUC."

Although not exactly the same as descendant selectors, I think it would be useful if some pseudo-classes like `:focus-within` and `:has(:focus-visible)` worked across shadow boundaries.
