Implementation Status

If this is older than 30 days, it's probably out of date.

Most of the plumbing is in place, no author-facing APIs exposed.

Differences and similarities with ​XBL2:

Area Status Differences
Events Matches logic in ​event handlers section We don't create a separate Event object for each re-targeting, because we don't worry about component isolation (yet)
Shadow Root We now create a root object at which the shadow DOM subtree begins Instead of it being a <template> element clone, we use a different node type (SHADOW_ROOT_NODE = 14)
pseudo attribute Same as ​XBL2 pseudo Allows arbitrary value and CSS machinery has been modified to allow any value
CSS matching Some of the ​selectors and shadow scopes implemented Need to further align with the XBL2 spec
Tree Scopes Implemented, matches the ​shadow scope notion of in XBL2
Style blocks/script blocks Not yet implemented
Inheritance Won't be implementing We decided that this feature is overly complex and unnecessary for the component model. See ​this post to public-webapps
