Hi, While trying the declarative shadow DOM, I found that Safari does not block rendering if it encounters a <link> external stylesheet, causing FOUC. Chrome, on the other hand, seems to block the rendering until the stylesheet is loaded. I could not find on the spec which behavior is expected, but having inconsistent behavior makes it hard to properly implement a workaround. From a developer point of view, blocking is more desirable (the only way to avoid blocking is to load the stylesheet in the head in the global scope, which leak all the styles). I've raised this concern as well in the W3C repo: https://github.com/whatwg/dom/issues/1187 Thanks.
