caugner left a comment (whatwg/dom#1448) I realize this is expected, and sufficiently specified: - > A [node](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-node) is connected if its [shadow-including root](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-shadow-including-root) is a [document](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-document). - > The shadow-including root of an object is its [root](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-tree-root)’s [host](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-documentfragment-host)’s [shadow-including root](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-shadow-including-root), if the object’s [root](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-tree-root) is a [shadow root](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-shadow-root); otherwise its [root](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-tree-root). - > The root of an object is itself, if its [parent](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-tree-parent) is null, or else it is the [root](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-tree-root) of its [parent](https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#concept-tree-parent). Since the attribute in the example has no parent, it has no root, and therefore it isn't connected. -- Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub: https://github.com/whatwg/dom/issues/1448#issuecomment-3805083092 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
