Hi,

I’m bringing this up out of:

[Custom]: enteredView and leftView callbacks are still confusing
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=24314

Could someone clarify exactly why mutation observers can’t satisfy use cases for custom elements?

I strongly believe that we should extend mutation observers (e.g. add some flag to fire more eagerly) so that we could *explain* these callbacks in terms of mutation observers.
