Bug 159113 – Don't keep all newly created potential custom elements alive when the feature is disabled

• Component: DOM
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Ryosuke Niwa]

Custom elements spec has been updated to not upgrade all elements unless they're inserted into a document.
We don't have a time to update the code fully but we should at least avoid queuing them up
and keeping them all alive when the feature is disabled.

OK

Maybe a better way to say this is:

Ideally we want to conform to the behavior in the Custom Elements spec. and only upgrade an element that is inserted into the document.

Can we/would it make sense to write a test for this change? I would hope that such a test could be updated once we implement the behavior defined in the spec.

It's theoretically possible with GCController.collect() but I've never been able to write a test with that successfully with JSC in the past. The test always ends up being either flaky or not functional.
