Thanks, I will try to keep up.

[snuggs]

No worries @brandondees I'll let you know where the 🔥 s are.

[icyc9]

Awesome. Will keep my eyes on this.

@brandondees update from the last TPAC meeting. /cc @tmornini @btakita @kurtcagle https://www.w3.org/2017/11/10-webplat-minutes.html

@brandondees @btakita @tmornini is=... attribute has some interesting ideas being flushed out. Algos fairly simple to reproduce in user land as well. Gives the ability to subclass existing elements. i.e. custom dropdown box with customized event loop hooks behind the scenes.

@brandondees @btakita @tmornini ability to extend from native HTML Elements added! In WPT (Web Platform Tests). ALL Browsers MUST implement now.

@brandondees remember we had the discussion of whether or not to extend HTMLElement as @tmornini mentioned a while ago extenitions are best avoided if possible. The spec forced extensions

We implement the following:

Element `foo-bar`
// merely a factory that links the string name to the following class.
// then `.define (element)`s for current/future occurrences
//  and `.upgrade (element)`s existing.
(class extends HTMLElement {})

We had contemplated

Element `foo-bar`

(class { /* We'll extend for you */ })

In retrospect this is where being lazy (which is usually a great thing) becomes a footgun.

@snuggs 👍

@brandondees @tmornini @Robertchristopher @btakita @rianby64 TL;DR; Of what's on the platform spec horizon from TPAC meeting in TOKYO. #CustomElements2020

IMHO scoped encapsulation registries seems interesting.
