Was someone suggesting that we should?

My concern is that if it's not explicit about what is being delegated, it it sounds like a catch-all, which we all agree it isn't and shouldn't be. We would at the very least need to be explicit with any related attributes, which could only add to the confusion.

For example:

```html
<template shadowrootmode="open"
          shadowrootdelegatesfocus
          shadowrootdelegatesto="input"
          shadowrootdelegatesattributes="input"> 
```

To me, it seems potentially very confusing: does `shadowrootdelegatesto` refer to focus somehow, since `shadowrootdelegatesfocus` doesn't take an ID? Does it refer to everything (for some unknown value of everything) _other_ than focus and attributes? Is `shadowrootdelegatesattributes` redundant, since it refers to the same element?
