 ## Background
 
 When building out a design library, I came across situations where I needed a parent component/app to override child component styles and markup. Use cases included rendering different combinations of `p` tags, `div` tags, images, and other basic elements. Implementing, however, wouldn't be easy for many reasons. Dealing with component `shadowroot`s makes overriding particularly difficult. There are also reliability issues with race conditions when applying overrides to childen components.
