What's currently specified at
https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcomponents/raw-file/tip/spec/components/index.html
means that the page including the components gets full access to do
something with them. It's basically nothing more than exposing the
document response what you can do with XMLHttpRequest.

It does seem problematic if we start building automatic component
creation on top of that as that basically gives you <script> all over
again.
