@annevk For what it's worth I read it as strictly a reply to Rob's [question](https://github.com/WICG/webcomponents/issues/1087#issuecomment-2673147647) about whether code written against the browser prototypes in anticipation of the feature should be updated at this time. I think the answer to that is still "not yet" given the continued debate here.

Looking at examples like @alice's [here](https://github.com/WICG/webcomponents/issues/1087#issuecomment-2677167922) where it's paired with delegatesFocus does strike me as more confusing than I had anticipated when taking about it in the f2f. This reads to me like the shadow will be delegating focus and it will be delegating it to `"input"`.

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

And the point is well-taken that we might eventually want to delegate a seperate set of things like attributes, and a generic `delegatesTo` could be a constraint to that.  I'm coming back around to preferring `referencetarget`, or `reftarget`...
