Polymer does absolutely nothing if you have an "undeclared" element

[ghost]

I have a build script that concats html, css, js into .html files for polymer One of my JS files is empty because I haven't built the component yet. I just upgraded polymer to 0.3.5 and spent an hour tracking down this issue:

If you have an "undeclared" element, polymer does nothing. Not just with this element, but not a single thing seems to instantiate: e.g.:

<polymer-element name="foo"></polymer-element>

As soon as you add <script>Polymer('foo',{});</script>, the world is well again.
