Polymer paper-input and form submission

Question

I'm working on a forum theme and started using web components but the form elements don't work.

I have stuff like this:

<input type="text" name="subject" maxlength="85" value="{$subject}" tabindex="1" />

and I tried translating it like that

<paper-input floatinglabel="" label="{$lang->thread_subject}" type="text" name="subject" maxlength="85" value="{$subject}" tabindex="1"></paper-input>

and all kind of variations also nesting the element inside but it doesn't work.

Same goes for all other input elements like submit buttons, checkboxes etc.
