I sympathize and agree that there's a naming collision, but I think the train has left the station on this one. "Shadow tree" and "shadow content" are terms that have been used pretty much universally to describe this construct, from XBL/XUL and XBL2 to SVG. I don't think we need to invent a new name for it. :DG< _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
