Just gonna say it as I always do; I love web components.

I'm curious how this would work with SSR. I noticed that nothing appears in the spaces where these elements are used when I have NoScript blocking scripts on the page. Obviously this would prevent execution of web components, but are these written in such a way that it would be practical to prerender the content and the client-side code to replace or rehydrate them?

Web Components need JS - which makes them a no-go for many use-cases. There should have been a way to permit plain web-components with just CSS+HTML and no JS

Web Components can't be SSR'ed. (The libs that claim to do so, cheat).
