Agreed with the fine-grained control issue. I figured we would do that
using pseudo-elements and component decorators, but I haven't spec
t; UI.
The current model allows both visible elements to be used as commands, and
invisible elements (). It's set up so that we can introduce an
attribute in the near future to make the definitions propagate
state to the elements used in the UI.

The harm in prefixing is that people can't use the feature for years after

The empty string is a valid URL.

You can't do that with SharedScript, since it's not guaranteed to be
unique across the browser. However, SharedScript misleads people into
thinking that they can do that, which is one reason that I am skeptical
that it is a good id
atch, because on the long term that will be the far more
common case than transitioning from a legacy codebase. I don't think that
our (Google's) response is representative here.
