This doesn't have to be the case. Shadows can be private by default
with a well defined and consistent API to override the default.
So, here's a quick strawman:
1) add an optional parameter to createShadowRoot to indicate whether
the shadow tree will be public or private (default TBD)
2) when a shadow tree is private, the corresponding
HTMLElement.shadowRoot and HTMLShadowElement.olderShadowRoot return
either a) the next older public tree root or b) null if older tree
doesn't exist, effectively skipping from the private shadow tree over
to the next older public tree.
WDYT?
If this is okay with everyone, we can focus on debating the default
parameter value.

Frankly from my perspective, which would be default (public or private)
is no issue at all, just pick one, could not care less. Discussion on
this mater (as long as we agree on the point that the value is Boolean
:) ) seems like a waste of time to me. Thou I would go for private as
default if default option is chosen.
The best solution would be to not go with default at all, make it nice
explicit parameter (mandatory), but that may conflict with existing
usage (?). For my controls I'll go with global option for all controls:
full private for release, probably public for development (for testing,
how the control behave, it may be useful to have access to its internals).
