+`<iron-native-validator>` is a an instantiation of a validator implementing the native
+<a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ValidityState">ValidityState API</a>.
+
+It maps native validators 'required', 'max', 'min', 'step', 'maxlength', 'minlength', 'pattern',
+'emailtype'(type=email) and 'urltype' (type=url) to the validity state
+
+    <iron-native-validator validator-name="required" message="Please fill in a value" id="instance"></iron-native-validator>
+    <iron-native-validator validator-name="emailtype" message="Please enter a valid e-mail address"></iron-native-validator>
+
+These native validators need to be instantiated once, so they are ready for use on a global level.
+The configured messages will be exposed by the validatable element, and will by default be shown via the paper-input.
+
+# Shimming
+When the native ValidityState API doesn't work (yet) in a certain browser, it is possible to provide your own validity
+method.
