      Again, Alex, I *could not care less* about the C++ inside browsers. As a component author and consumer that is just not in any way pertinent

      Which is why I keep reiterating that *you don't have to use any of it* if you don't want HTML integration. We opened up DOM and the HTML parser to you, warts and all. Feel free to reject whichever don't serve you!

      It's not about the choices I make or reject when writing my own components! It's about navigating the choices made by the authors of every component I ever come across while building an app. Why is this so hard to grok?

      It's not! The most interoperable WC work like HTML. There's plenty of space for a sect that rejects some of that interop advantage for other conveniences. They'll need to name this variant for themselves to avoid confusion, tho.

      As a passive observer of this convo: Alex is saying that WC give you a way to essentially build builtins: a new html element. The *external* API of your WC shouldn't include knowledge of attributeChanged, but internally should fire a DOM event that consumers can listen on...

      So you get all the quirks of building a builtin, now in JS! Rich is saying that no one wants to build components like that. And that saying "oh don't use the bits you don't like" is a cop out, because we maybe had a chance to fix attroperties and didn't.

      Both of these statements are true. Rich envisions a chance to do something better than the html we've had forever. Alex is saying you can build things that are just like the html of today.

      Pretty much it. Custom elements were an opportunity to break with the mistakes of the past; instead we doubled down on them

      You're missing my point: breaking with HTML means defacto interop fail (as we have in most userland FWs today). Can do that -- and in fact can do it better with WC! -- but that's about local choices you're no less free to make in WC than before.

      Firstly, this isn't breaking with HTML/DOM — there's precedent for element properties changing without the attribute also changing (`input.value = x`, etc). Secondly, what are these interop failures you keep referring to?

      You can build getter/setter only components with WC *TODAY*. Avoid reflecting if you want! Advertise it as the hot new thing! Sell it like a brat at a ballgame! Ignore attributes like they're going out of style! WC are a pallete of options. Pick/chose what works best for you.

          The point that many miss is that WCs are a low level API. As such they provide a platform on which a variety of different implementations can be built. IMHO its on component & framework authors to explore different approaches & help form opinions for the next round of standards.

          I don't think anyone is missing this. In fact, it's the chief complaint: They aren't a good authoring format.
