Description
See https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#dom-element-attachshadow
@rwlbuis has a one-line patch to allow MathML elements too and @bkardell was able to use it for https://bkardell.com/blog/MathForward.html
- Do we want that? HTML5 does not allow to attach shadow root on arbitrary elements.
- Is it really necessary when we have w3c/mathml-core#275 and w3c/mathml#139 resolved + the css layout API?
- Is there any security issue e.g. with links? ( see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/attachShadow and w3c/mathml-core#142 )

Research direction
Start with the DOM specification's Element.attachShadow definition and review the linked MathML Core and MathML issues, including the security discussion. Determine whether MathML elements should be allowed to attach shadow roots and whether the related standards or CSS layout work changes that need. Done means reaching and documenting a standards decision with any security implications.
