alt Hacker NewsHaving to use the property on the element instance, rather than the actual HTML attribute, is exactly the kind of wrapper code I want to avoid if I'm using a built-in.

What kind of control are you looking for?
`open` works just like checked for a checkbox input. You can set the initial state in HTML and CSS can respond to changes in the attribute if a user clicks it. Markup won't have programmatic control over the attribute by design, that's always done in JS by modifying the element instance.
You need some JS to change an attribute as much as you need JS to change a property. What am I missing?
I hope the command attribute (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/...) will eventually support this out of the box. In the meanwhile you can write a single custom --toggle command which is generic and works with any toggleable element
