[webcomponents] Progress Update

Greetings, Public-Webapp-lings,

It's time for the sem-regular update from the Web Components-land.

SHADOW DOM (https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/showdependencytree.cgi?id=14978&hide_resolved=1):

Quite a few updates, from minor clarification tweaks to rather massive updates.

The events section, algorithms, and example have been thoroughly
reworked, primarily based on the field feedback from WebKit
implementation.

The CSS-related stuff has been remodeled so much since FPWD, it could
be called "all new":
* Clearer and better defined language around distribution and styles
(https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=17674 and many more)
* Using @host at-rule, rather than :host:
http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcomponents/rev/32a744c2c2f9
* The @host at-rule contains rulesets that match only shadow host:
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18483
* Foundational plumbing for shared stylesheets:
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=15818
* resetStyleInheritance for <content>:

HTML TEMPLATES (https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/showdependencytree.cgi?id=15476&hide_resolved=1):
