The Polymer.dom.flush() call should force any pending upgrades to complete, meaning that the prism-highlighter should be attached before we fire the highlight events. See the bug description in #207 for analysis of what we think's going on here...

Also, use Polymer.dom() correctly. Existing code was calling scopeSubtree instead of doing the right thing.

Unfortunately, this issue is intermittent, and I haven't found any reliable way to reproduce it. Assuming this patch doesn't make anything worse (so far as I can tell, it doesn't), perhaps we could roll it out for a while and ask folks to keep an eye out for this problem.

More "correct" fix here would be to rework the racy connection between the guides page and the highlighter element. For example, have the prism-highlighter element fire an even on attached, upon receipt of which page retries the highlight request. Or, just have the page call a method directly on the element.

Better long-term fix might be to doing highlighting as a build step or on the server-side instead of offloading to the client.
