What's with people liking custom elements? I feel the only argument going for them is: "it's globally scoped XML" - and not sure that's good

well, they feel native — you use <audio> and it creates an audio player, use <google-map> and it creates a map — all in HTML

not quite - first you need to define what <google-map> is using JS in the first place; I feel `GoogleMap()` is equally descriptive

but in theory browsers and screen readers could somehow know what <google-map> is, maybe with a manifest

that's quite speculative hey. Accessibility is possible now, as long as HTML is used, which like webcomponents, functions can do too

in Instapaper/Pocket you can implement a parser that will put placeholder & link to a map when it sees <map src="x">
