Yes, you are missing something. :) This is trying to provide polyfills for and build on top of Shadow DOM and Custom Elements.

While some of the features in them could be provided just by templating stuff (though it would be mildly to very inconvenient), at least the visible DOM / shadow DOM separation and scoped styles wouldn't be possible.
