Description Dominic Cooney 2012-05-22 02:18:27 UTC 
Per the explainer <https://dvcs.w3.org/hg/webcomponents/raw-file/tip/explainer/index.html#using-custom-elements-in-script> you need a way to refer to the constructor generated by a HTMLElementElement.

It is possible that the "constructor" attribute could do double duty for this, just like

<input id="x" form="y">

produces

document.querySelector('#x').form => [object HTMLFormElement]

then HTMLElementElement.constructor could be typed to being a script object.
