Initial prototype of a `<toolbar>` element is coming along. Largely piggybacks off the focusgroup code so it's actually quite simple to do. Lots to discuss and tweak before it's finished but got to start somewhere.

That looks like a use case for a custom element. What’s different with this native new element?

It's built into the browser? Handling the keyboard behaviour automatically is a pretty big win over using a JS library for it, imo. Focusgroup has actually quite complex conflict handling for if you say put an input inside a toolbar. Doing this in a custom element would be quite a pain.

Exactly. Better to have a native implementation everyone can use than 500 (likely inaccessible) versions—assuming one knows how to make custom elements at all.

"exactly - better rely on Google being the good guys" is your take? Remember these are the same people that tried to push WebDRM
