-Web components have an increasing number of features that allow them to work and act like builtin elements. For example:
+For example, Spectrum Web Components' [`sp-checkbox` component](https://opensource.adobe.com/spectrum-web-components/components/checkbox/)
+composes an `<input type=checkbox>`,
+augmenting its functionality in several ways including adding an `indeterminate` state:

It might be worth clarifying this augments by adding a `indeterminate` attribute which (I imagine) reflects the `indeteminate` IDL:


https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLInputElement/indeterminate

I was a little confused initially reading this as I thought `indeterminate` was part of HTML, but it's just the IDL not the attribute.
