Andrei,

Since CSS Regions does not depend on Shadow DOM functionality, I'm not
sure it makes sense to define additions to the ShadowRoot interface in our
spec. Of course, the Shadow DOM spec does not depend on CSS Regions, so
I'm not sure it makes sense to add Regions-specific APIs in their spec,
either. But it should go somewhere, as I want to ensure that our OM is
compatible with theirs.

Dmitri - do you have an opinion on this?

Thanks,

Alan
