Thanks for the clarification.

Seems like I mixed up Web Widget[1], Web Control[2] and Behavior[3]

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_widget
[2] http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-controls/current-work/
[3] http://www.w3.org/TR/becss/

Simply thought that scoped style sheet are somehow related to one of those.
