My hope was that it would be rare to override Symbol.create for Elements so in most cases we would not need to call user code.
For spec purposes and parser implementation design purposes that doesn't matter. If user code can be called, the algorithms involved have to handle user code being called at that point and potentially tearing the world down (or apart, or just rearranging it in macabre ways like user code tends to do)...
After further discussing this with Dominic and others I've given up the hope that an object instance cannot be reached before the constructor has been called. This can happen due to navigating the DOM tree but also be manually calling `MyCustomElement[Symbol.create]()`. At this point I believe we should just resolve to best practice and that is to not use @@create directly and do not navigate the DOM tree in your constructors.
Yeah, agreed. -Boris
