> agree that the original 4 parts of the web component spec ( custom elements, shadow dom, templates, modules ) had varying levels of battle testing

What battle testing? Literally nothing in Web Components was ever battle-tested before release. You wouldn't need 20+ specs to paper over the holes in the design had they actually veen battle-tested.

Read my comment again. I literally said that various parts had various levels of precedents - and that the more successful parts were those with stronger precedents.

So you don't thing the ideas of modules or templates had had multiple precedents?

Totally agree that some aspects had much less precedent - and that's why, in the end, they either didn't get implemented or haven't got much traction.
