Bug 262608 – support includeShadowRoots in JSAPI for streaming declarative shadow dom

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: INVALID
• Component: DOM

[Onur Gumus]

The following code works in chrome allowing declarative shadow dom parsed and inserted with javascript. 

<script>
  const html = `
    <div>
      <template shadowrootmode="open"></template>
    </div>
  `;
  const div = document.createElement('div');
  div.innerHTML = html; // No shadow root here
  const fragment = new DOMParser().parseFromString(html, 'text/html', {
    includeShadowRoots: true
  }); // Shadow root here
</script>

However includeShadowRoots parameter is ignored by WebKit

[Ryosuke Niwa]

The plan is to add parseHTMLUnsafe and support declarative shadow DOM there, not add an option to DOMParser.
