I hate to reopen old wounds, but for the sake of those future readers who stumble upon this thread and think that there's still merit to Mr. De Backer's comments, I feel it's necessary to point out that all of the web components standards are in fact part of the W3C specification

Moreover, the W3C has in fact ceded control of the HTML and DOM specifications to the WHATWG, in effect retroactively ratifying the specs above mentioned.

All of the links in this comment are to w3.org

Now get out there and be awesome, everyone!

I'm responding here to spectators, because of course Mr. De Backer already knows that polyfills enable support down to IE11.

So, in fact you can write web components that work in ie11.

However, that doesn't mean that you should.
