Hi James, Recently annevk has been working on reviewing the current specification for custom elements and we were getting the custom elements implementation to a state where we would be ready to turn it on once we were satisfied with the spec. Ideally this would have been near the end of the quarter as we were only anticipating relatively minor changes but it turns out that the current API doesn't fit that well with ES6 classes which are just around the corner and this may require additional work on both the spec and the implementation. As we currently stand, it's hard to give an estimate for when registerElement will be widely turned on. Planning will be easier once the spec settles down and we know what we need to implement (annevk would probably be able to provide a better estimate for this piece than I could). To follow the recent spec issues currently in discussion, we have this wiki page: https://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/CustomElements Once we know what we need to implement, we will have a bug to track progress on implementation and enabling the feature. - William _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
