If the ShadowRoot has resetStyleInheritance set then the text uses a "root default style", but I have no way to get that as well. > > 2) There's no way to set the style of the Text. Normally I can do parentNode.style.color = ...; but since ShadowRoot has no style property I have no way to influence the text of the ShadowRoot without dynamically changing a <style> element. > > 3) You can't use elementFromPoint(). It returns null since ShadowRoot.elementFromPoint should always return an element in that scope, but there is no element in that scope. This means you have no sensible way to do a hit test of the text in the shadow root.
Maybe it's time to reconsider if ShadowRoot should be an element rather than a DocumentFragment again? / Jonas
