An earlier version of my proposal had support for arbitrary renaming at import time. However, Ryosuke convinced me that the syntax was confusing, and that importing with a different prefix would always be sufficient to resolve namespace collisions. That’s what the proposed prefix attribute is for. Thus, you can import "abc-button" as "xyz-button" but arbitrary other renames are not supported. This relies on the requirement that custom element names must contain a hyphen, and the convention that the bit before the hyphen is often treated as a namespace prefix. If there are good use cases for arbitrary renames, it’s probably not too hard to support them. Regards, Maciej
