Specification

None

Summary

This feature makes the select element look in its flat tree for option elements rather than just looking at its normal DOM descendants. This way, web components can use select elements in their shadow DOM and users of the web component can provide option elements. Here is an example: https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/11535

Blink component

Blink>DOM

Motivation

Without this feature, web component authors have to rebuild their own select components rather than using customizable select. https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues/11535#issuecomment-3155754832
