Like Boris said, #1 is the only problem. We're only trying to make it so that the metadata we copy out of the template can be shared (the list of output ports and the list of attribute forwards, I think), and to do that we just need to freeze the structure of the DOM. If the output port is done as an element that you can see in the shadow DOM, then we need to freeze the selector it uses to match and any other switches expressed as attributes on it. ~TJ ~TJ
