I think we should discuss this idea first. I am kind of ambivalent about what's the right thing to do here. We did this with disabling author shadows on inputs, and now we nearly trained the few peeps who experiment with shadow DOM that inputs are not usable with shadow DOM, which seems like a bad thing.  On the other hand, we don't want to be crashing like drunk monkeys in ferraris.

Let's put it this way: I am confident in your abilities to climb HTML editing learning curve and identify the root issues (I am sure there are only a few of those) and fix this in a reasonable timeframe :)
