For example, give a node in a tree, all descendants of this node are in a subtree. 77756 3 dglazkov 2012-11-02 16:25:38 +0000 (In reply to comment #2) > A subtree is a tree or part of a tree.

The nodes in the example above are in a subtree relative to the larger tree in which node participates. I am in the process of nomenclature change in the Shadow DOM spec, so I'll see how much I can remove the notion of a subtree. I'll report after I am done -- I'll know better whether the Shadow DOM spec needs the term subtree. 78015 4 dglazkov 2012-11-07 22:34:26 +0000 BTW, as of http://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcomponents/rev/5f578fec5447, there's no longer the term "subtree" mentioned in the Shadow DOM spec. 78113 5 annevk 2012-11-09 14:44:01 +0000 Resolving as WONTFIX then for lack of use case.
