[Patternfly] Web component current steps

[Michael Clayton]

Possibly of interest, I just made a blog post about a technique for
lazy-loading Web Components.  It would allow a PatternFly user to drop
components onto their pages without the overhead of writing a <link
rel="import" href=""> for every component they want to use.

It's not without drawbacks (see end of article), but I think it would be
a particularly nice convenience for pattern libraries like PF where
users are adding/removing components quickly, for rapid prototyping.
