That's why I tried to scope this thread to upgrading and not the script side.

The main question is how you tie MyInputElement to something like
<my-input> and have that actually work. It seems Dimitri's answer is
that you don't, you use <input is=my-input> in combination with a
(delayed) prototype mutation and creation callback. And you use
createElement("input", "my-input") or the constructor on the script
side of things.

We could have that I guess, but it still doesn't help with upgrading, does it?
