Fixes #2309.

This is a pretty pivotal feature for web components, as it allows to correctly map IDREF attributes to things inside the shadow DOM, without breaking encapsulation.

It's apparently been through an origin trial in Chromium, but I'm not sure what the plans are when it comes to shipping.
@dandclark can you share any plans on the above?

It's been proposed for Interop 26: web-platform-tests/interop#1011

There are a few open issues that still need to be worked through, tracked from WICG/webcomponents#1086.
