RE: [shadow-styling] Named parts, styling built-in form controls, and shadow styling (was Re: Goals for Shadow DOM review)

I agree that this approach makes sense and is a good potential route. However, what I was initially wondering was: can we just use existing shadow DOM constructs? E.g. could you style the slider with

input[type="range"] /shadow/ .slider-thumb

?

I am coming at this from a slightly different perspective. How can we make shadow DOM not just a look-alike, but an actual layer in the layering scheme?
