+ * Rename every `is` attribute to `_is`, rebuilding the element to do it.
+ *
+ * A component written as a dashed tag is neutralized in the shell by renaming the TAG
+ * (`<my-tag>` becomes `<my-tag-SOLARITE-PLACEHOLDER>`), so the browser never recognizes the
+ * placeholder and never upgrades it.  A customized built-in cannot be neutralized that way,
+ * because its tag has to stay real:  a `<tr is="my-row">` that is not a `<tr>` is thrown out
+ * by the parser's table rules.  So its ATTRIBUTE is renamed instead.
+ *
+ * Renaming the attribute in place is not enough.  `is` is also recorded in an internal slot on
+ * the element, which removeAttribute() cannot clear and cloneNode() copies, so a placeholder
+ * that was parsed with `is` stays a customized built-in as far as the browser is concerned.
+ * Every clone of it is upgraded the moment it enters a document with a browsing context —
+ * running the component's constructor on the placeholder, before PathToComponent has
+ * instantiated the real element or evaluated the attribute expressions meant for it.  A
+ * constructor that renders then renders the placeholder, whose children are the ones the user
+ * declared, and those get handed to the real instance as if they were slot content.
+ *
+ * Building a fresh element and moving everything across is the only way to drop that slot.
+ * It happens once per unique template, because Shells are cached, and never per render.
