Re: [cssom] Make CSSStyleSheet constructable

|  For example, in frameworks where components are dynamically loaded (or
|  generated), their developers will use document.register
| 
(http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcomponents/raw-file/tip/spec/custom/index.html#dfn-document-register)
|  to register them with the document. As such, they would have no way to

I don't see why. The shared stylesheets will be automatically guessed from 
their template. I mean, by default, when the template will be copied, the 
same stylesheet will be reused for its copies (unless they modify it, but I 
guess they should not do that).

Again, you can change the class of an element located in your template. 
Since you can select elements directly from the shadow tree using @host {} 
you can easily solve this in an elegant way. Modifying the rules of a CSS 
file destroys a lot of browser optimizations. Modifying a CSS stylesheet 
should be a "I-have-no-other-solution" fix because it comes at very high 
costs.
