 1. The custom element polyfill is supported by calling `flush()` after mounting the nodes so things appear synchronous.
 2. Nodes are mounted to a fixture that is always kept in the DOM (even if it's removed, it will put itself back). This is so that custom elements can go through their natural lifecycle.
 3. The fixture is cleaned up on every mount, so there's no need to cleanup after your last mount.

-The `h` function prefers props unless it's something that *must* be set as an attribute, such as `aria-` or `data-`. As a best practice, your web component should be designed to prefer props and reflect to attributes only when it makes sense.
+The `h` function sets always props. If you wanna set something as an attribute, such as `aria-` or `data-` or anything else `h` accepts special `attrs` prop.
+For setting event handlers use `events` property.
