 Use the native `<slot>` element in the component template to project content
 from the parent. ichigo.js components use Light DOM.
 
+- Slot content is compiled in the **parent scope** and stays the parent's:
+  its bindings, event handlers and the props of components inside it keep
+  working wherever the component places it.
+- The content is **moved** to the `<slot>`, never copied, so a `<slot>` may sit
+  behind a `v-if` / `v-for` in the component template (e.g. a dialog body shown
+  only while open). Hiding the outlet takes the content out of view; showing it
+  again brings back the same nodes.
+- Nodes can be in one place only: when the same slot is rendered more than
+  once (a `<slot>` inside a `v-for`), the content goes to the outlet rendered
+  last, and if that outlet goes away it moves to the last one remaining. For
+  content per row, use a scoped slot (below), which renders once per outlet.
+- A `<slot>` that receives no content renders its own children as fallback, in
+  the component scope.

 ### Scoped slots
 
 A scoped slot lets the parent supply a template for content that the component

+     * Renders a static slot outlet: a `<slot>` element inside a component template
+     * whose host element received plain slot content from the parent — child
+     * nodes for the default slot, or elements carrying `slot="name"`:
+     *
+     * ```html
+     * <!-- component template -->
+     * <div v-if="open" class="body"><slot></slot></div>
+     *

+     * <my-dialog :open="show">
+     *   <my-field :label="title"></my-field>
+     * </my-dialog>
+     * ```
+     *
+     * The slot content is the parent application's own nodes, compiled in the
+     * parent scope; it keeps its bindings, listeners and component props only as
+     * long as those very nodes are displayed. So the outlet MOVES them into place
+     * and never clones them. That is what lets a `<slot>` sit behind a v-if or
+     * v-for in the component template: the directive clones its template source,
+     * the clone carries a fresh `<slot>`, and the outlet created for that clone
+     * moves the live nodes in.
+     *
+     * Nodes can only be in one place, so when the same slot is rendered more than
+     * once (e.g. a `<slot>` inside a v-for), the outlet rendered last receives the
+     * content and the earlier ones are left empty. When the outlet holding the
+     * content goes away while others remain (its row is removed), the content
+     * moves to the last remaining one. For content per row, use a scoped slot
+     * (`<template v-slot:name="scope">`), which renders a copy per outlet
+     * (VSlotOutletDirective).
+     *
+     * The component application never compiles the moved nodes: they are placed
+     * in onMount, after the parent VNode has taken its snapshot of the children
+     * to compile. Components inside them belong to the parent application, which
+     * expands them through {@link expandComponents} once they are in the document.
+     * When the last outlet goes away (its v-if turns false) the nodes leave with
+     * the removed clone and wait there until the next outlet moves them again;
+     * they are not destroyed, because they are not this application's to destroy.
