Wouter, After I found out about elm-polymer library, I tried to reimplement your example but, I've run into issues.
This is as far as I got https://github.com/pdamoc/polymer-exploration The problems are due to the way children are handled. I tried a fix that I remembered from a previous exploration (lazyRegister) but, the rendering is still bad. This is yet another reason I think that Polymer might not be the best way forward. A native Elm solution to Web Components might produce better results both in therms of developer UX and in terms of final deliverables.
