That sounds great!

It also seems there's still a number of issues around integration with
HTML. That is, what the effect of HTML elements should be inside
shadow trees. I seem to remember Ian having more detailed notes, but
quickly looking around I only found:

* https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=27406
* https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=26952
* https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=28748

And these don't seem to mention the effects of various algorithms.
E.g., named access on the global object currently finds child browsing
contexts, but I don't think we would want it to return any that are
inside a shadow tree. And should browsing contexts inside shadow trees
have an effect on history?


Then there's the matter of text selection which we're not sure about
what to do. Have you folks worked on that?
