You're buying too much into Björn's "specs are reality" ideas.  ^_^

There's no implied commitment here, just the reality that whatever
syntax we choose here is likely to freeze quickly as soon as it's
shipped.  Even if we want to, it will be hard or impossible to change
in the future.

Lots of Shadow DOM can be tweaked post-shipping, and likely will for
some time as we continue to tweak things based on experience in the
wild and further input from others.  CSS syntax probably can't,
because that's how the world works.
