As far as I can tell, Web Components is doing the following:
1) Defining a way for authors to implement custom widgets.
2) Defining a way to maybe describe built-in custom widgets using the
same language.
It is not yet, but maybe sometime (this is pretty vaporware-ish so far)
doing:
3) Defining a way that author styles can be applied to browser-defined
"custom" widgets.
and it is certainly not doing:
4) Defining the browser-defined "custom" widgets using the
capabilities of #2 such that authors can in fact style them.
