Custom Elements v1

Custom Elements let web authors define their own tags. Chrome shipped an implementation based on the working draft of the spec in M33. The current editor's draft of the spec has significant updates based on web developer and implementer feedback.

Comments

Safari has indicated that they will not implement customized built-in elements, eg https://github.com/w3c/webcomponents/issues/544#issuecomment-239301184
