Description

[Adrian Aichner [:anaran]]

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Components
does not exist, yet it is referenced from links shown below.

In particular it suggests an invalid method in the sidebar: Document.register()
The correct method to reference would probably be Document.registerElement()
