There are currently several places where Shadow DOM and CSS interact with each other:

The shadow tree encapsulation boundaries affect style resolution
There are switches, such as resetStyleInheritance that provide controls of how the style is affected
There's a new @host at-rule, which provides a way for a shadow treeto affect styling of the shadow host
There's a new ::distributed() pseudo-element function, which provides a way for a shadow tree to affect style of the elements, distributed into insertion points
There's a method for defining custom pseudo-elements

As real Web developers started poking around the spec and implementation, a new set of questions/ideas arose (listed in no particular order):

Let's see if we can take what we have, add what we've learned so far and see if any new better design ideas come out.

There's no set agenda, but we start at 10:30am and have the room until 3:30pm.
