Need a way to get the activeElement inside a Polymer element

[ojanvafai]

ShadowRoots have their own activeElement, but I don't see how to get to the ShadowRoot from within a Polymer element.

this.shadowRoot and so this.shadowRoot.activeElement

Thanks. Maybe this could be documented at http://www.polymer-project.org/polymer.html or http://www.polymer-project.org/platform/shadow-dom.html?

We've tried to keep the platform pages lean, in favor of articles elsewhere on the net. But maybe we should round them out with useful/practical information like this?

Anyways, added to the FAQ for now: http://www.polymer-project.org/faq.html#activeelement
