I noticed this while fixing a bug in GenerateExports: If you add @export to a method of a Polymer element that is defined in the Polymer 1 style (Polymer({ method1() {} method2() {} })) the compiler just adds that method to Object.prototype in the externs, rather than generating a goog.exportSymbol call. This means that other properties with the same name won't get renamed, so code size might suffer. If a Polymer project finds their code size is too big this is one place we might look. Until then, I'm guessing this is a relatively low-priority issue.
