Re: [Custom Elements] attributeChanged not sufficient?

I certainly support some kind of per-element media query, or resize event,
if the well-known performance issues around these ideas can be resolved,
but otherwise Custom Elements don't have a lot to say about this problem.

>> Typically, when using a plain JS API (and not a custom declarative
markup), users are used to call a size synchronization routine, shall the
map viewport change.

This notion hasn't changed. In the absence of native resize signals,
applications or frameworks will need to manage this information themselves,
and broadcast custom signals (e.g. 'call a size synchronization routine').

Fwiw, I believe this question is orthogonal to `attributeChanged` (or
attributes in general).
