 ### Custom widgets
 
+#### Design choices
+
+You might have noticed that _JSFE_ is not using Custom Elements as a medium for injecting widgets.  
+First prototypes where using them, but I've had troubles regarding the parent form element awareness about its children.  
+E.g. with Shoelace, inputs weren't responding well with form validation, the <kbd>ENTER</kbd> key for submit, etc.  
+I'm sure there are ways to circumvent those hassles (forwarding events…), I tried, but for now it's not a priority, as that might affect various UI libs in different ways.
+
+Moreover, Web Components users are eager to see [Custom Registries](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/CustomElementRegistry) becoming maintream.
+That will make the process of overriding widgets much more flexible.
+
+For now, using Lit's `TemplateResult` (returning an `html` snippet from a function) is straight-forward, however there are some trade-offs; it's a state-less function, no CSS scoping, lit-tied, etc.
+
+Ultimately, goal is to make JSFE fully modular and agnostic, by using well-defined Custom Elements, for each individual form control.
