Sure.  If I want to attach a component to a <table> and to do that I 
have to write:

   <x-my-table>
     <tr><td>Content</td></tr>
   <x-my-table>

and somewhere before that point register that x-my-table should be 
treated as a table, then the whole thing falls apart in a UA that 
doesn't understand that registration.

That is, this approach works if components are only used for situations 
that absolutely cannot work without the component available, as far as I 
can tell.
