This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
The spec doesn't say what should happen to shadow DOM if host is adopted to a new document. The spec does have "The ownerDocument property of a node in a shadow tree must refers to the document of the shadow host which hosts the shadow tree." but that misses 'adopting steps' from DOM spec which HTML relies on.
