The only problem I see with this is that the web components implementation is 
definitely going to change, and will guarantee breakage of most web

wait until we have an implementation which will not break in the future
now that the spec is more stable. If there is some way to preserve backwards 
compatibility with the current implementation, I'm sure I could be
convinced otherwise - but I'm not sure that's something we want to do.

FYI, we'll probably know more about the spec[1] stability after the next web 
components related face-to-face meeting, July 21 (somewhere in Bay Area).
But most likely at least Shadow DOM handling will look rather different in the 
near future comparing to what it is now.

[1] Well, there are several specs, but talking only about Shadow DOM and Custom 
Elements here.



Best,

    We've been using web components in gaia for ages, and it's a super-useful 
feature, even in its current state. I've been developing some components
    for use in gaia apps, and unfortunately, I've not been able to find any 
web-components shim that is compatible with them.

    Guillaume came up with the idea of a custom manifest field to opt-in to our 
web-components implementation - I think this would be great, what do
    others think? Is there any really good reason we shouldn't do this? It 
seems a bit lame to be withholding a core technology we use in the system
    apps from 3rd parties.
