Description
What type of issue is this?
Missing compatibility data
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
In Chromium < 102 the default value of ShadowRoot.slotAssignment is "auto".
What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?
Chromium (Chrome, Edge 79+, Opera, Samsung Browser)
What did you expect to see?
Should add an entry like ShadowRoot.slotAssignment defaults to "named".
Did you test this? If so, how?
document.createElement('div').attachShadow({mode: 'open', slotAssignment: 'named'}) throws in Chromium 91.0.4464.0 and not in 92.0.4510.0.
document.createElement('div').attachShadow({mode: 'open'}).slotAssignment and document.createElement('div').attachShadow({mode: 'open', slotAssignment: 'named'}).slotAssignment are "auto" in Chromium 101.0.4949.0 and are "named" in 102.0.4983.0.
