+### ShadowDOM CSS is not encapsulated out of the box
+The ShadowDOM polyfill is not able to encapsulate CSS in ShadowDOM out of the box. You need to use specific code from the ShadyCSS library, included with the polyfill. See [ShadyCSS instructions](https://github.com/webcomponents/shadycss).
### Custom element's constructor property is unreliable
See [#215](https://github.com/webcomponents/webcomponentsjs/issues/215) for background.
