This is the litmus test: If you were writing this today, would you start
with a div or span? Then your component is probably the second kind.
Yes, agreed.
Recalling the two kinds of components, I think custom tag names are a
bad fit for the first kind—the kind that have a semantic cousin in HTML.
A, B and C will be problems for these kinds of components.
Yes.
I think the way forward is for us to work on components that use an
existing tag name, and identify the component with an attribute, for
now.
Sounds good.
