IE9 support lands today, and we've decided against supporting earlier versions of IE - too much headache and code bloat/hackishness to justify addressing the ever shrinking < IE9 u…

I actually think a spin on this idea could work, we're going to be working with Google on adding a tag library to their JS libraries CDN (that is tentative btw) and the spec alread…

Actually I have been meeting with the W3 Web Components spec author for about 2 months while we readied this. The document.register method that was recently added to the spec was i…

I'm going to work on it this weekend!

Surely sir! http://github.com/mozilla/x-tag/

Correct, Mozilla Marketplace is not putting X-Tags in all apps. The dev tooling side of Marketplace will offer a project builder that let's you pick which tags (if any) you'd like …

@MatthewPhillips - That's not what I meant. Mozilla will offer a bootstrap builder with which you can add as many of the stock tags/components as you want to your app's pages. It w…

1) Mozilla is generating a stock set of components that you wont have to "scour" for. 2) The components can be easily included using an app bootstrap builder that the Mozilla Marke…

If I can get it compatible with IE9, is that a big thing for people here? I don't think it would be too hard, thoughts?

Yeah the funny thing is I could actually even make it work in IE6 and 7 if I used Mutation for IE9 and then - ready your pitchforks and torches folks - proprietary CSS Behavior scr…

The prefix is added as a default, but can be changed or even removed - it's up to you, the developer.

New tags are given an "x-" prefix by default, so that's not an issue. That said, you can opt out of the prefixing by changing the namespace string - but even if you remove it and t…

Because it doesn't support CSS Animations, which I use for insertion detection. I might be able to finagle it for IE9 with Mutation events, but in their DOM Level 3 state, they des…

You should be able to use this as a standard soon, X-Tag has helped inform the W3 spec. I've been working with Dimitri Glazkov (the W3 draft author) over the last 2 months. We reac…

To change the style and behavior, you just use the DOM as you normally would. You can access the inner DOM elements of a component with regular ol' JS and style them normally with …

X-Tag was just added as an official Mozilla repo on Github - it's a small, JS-only polyfill that enables the Custom Element portion of the W3 Web Components spec ( https://dvcs.w3.…

A couple quick, important clarifications: The parse does not turn the custom tags into divs, there is no need to do that. These are fully capable, valid tags and exist in the sourc…

Q: What if we could easily extend HTML with tags that do more than just tell Google's crawler about the layout of our content? A: We can, right now, today, on a hell-of-a-lot-of ex…

DOM Level 3 Mutation Events were deprecated a while back due to performance and implementation concerns (http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-3-Events/#events-mutationevents - http://lis…

Yeah Greg, I must say, do you really think David's (or any web-savy developers) passwords are "password" or "root"? Highly unlikely bro. Anywho, CSS Tricks and a few others were ja…

I would look at MooTools, their approach to OO JS abstraction keeps your JS heavy web apps lean and mean!
