Much the same, from what I understand. The parser needs to be able to create elements, including custom elements, without knowing what their constructor signature is. As specced [1], registering the element will set its @@create value to something that creates the element in this way, and presumably the parser will be updated to invoke @@create. (This is the same as how, in ES5, the parser invokes the `createdCallback` property passed to `registerElement`.)

Dmitri, did I get that right?
