NO PARENT DOCUMENT!

<script> var importDoc = document.currentScript.ownerDocument; var parentDocument = document; </script>
part of the imports.html
so scripts behave the same as in parent doc

CUSTOM ELEMENTSinvisible to querySelector and CSS rules
use elements and attributes of DOM as API to interact with the
shadow DOM component: !
acc.setAttribute("selected", 1);
CUSTOM ELEMENTS
function (name, spec, callbacks) { var proto = Object.create(HTMLDivElement.prototype); // […] check for callbacks return document.registerElement(name, { prototype: Object.create(proto, spec || {}) });}
CUSTOM ELEMENTS
function (name, spec, callbacks) { var proto = Object.create(HTMLDivElement.prototype); // […] check for callbacks return document.registerElement(name, { prototype: Object.create(proto, spec || {}) });}
returns a constructor
