Subject: [PATCH] add failing Polymer components tests

These tests are currently failing. Elements inside `<template>` tags must not have browsing context since they should be stored in a distinct `DocumentFragment`; since they're inactive, they should not be upgraded by scripts, load events, styles etc.

+// Elements inside <template> content live in the inert "template contents
+// owner document", which has no browsing context and no custom element
+// registry. They must never be constructed/upgraded, and no reactions may run
+// on them, even if a matching definition already exists. Only a copy stamped
+// into the real document (importNode/cloneNode + insert) gets upgraded.
+//
+// Polymer relies on this: its `html` tag sets template.innerHTML with binding
+// annotations such as items="[[list]]", then strips those attributes from the
+// template content *before* stamping. If the element is upgraded while still
+// in the template, attributeChangedCallback receives the raw "[[list]]" text
+// and JSON.parse fails:
+//   Polymer::Attributes: couldn't decode Array as JSON: [[list]]
+// (lib/mixins/property-accessors.js `_deserializeValue`, case Array).
