If you run the following example, you get an error because the custom element does not have a hyphen in the name.
index.html
<html>
<script src="polymer-v0.0.20130912/polymer-v0.0.20130912.min.js"></script>
<link rel="import" href="element.html">
<element/>
element.html
<polymer-element name="element">
<template>
</template>
<script>Polymer('element');</script>
</polymer-element>
However, the error has no message, so if you do this by accident it is difficult to work out what has gone wrong.
