The shadow DOM, as outlined in Glazkov's blog post and as committed recently to Chrome Canary, is about elements that are inaccessible to JavaScript and to CSS (apart from wierd `-webkit-appearance` type stuff).

This is just a demo of using pseudo-elements.

It was really confusing; I wanted to show my manager a demo of how cool the shadow DOM support in Chrome Canary was, but then we looked at the source and saw no shadow DOM stuff at all! Just old pseudo-element tricks from 2010.
