Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-cascade] Additive CSS

I wish I had more time to dig into this, but I wanted to chime in briefly...

I fear that this feature won't really address the pain points that animators face in their day-to-day work. Here are 2 quick demos of where I think it _might_ miss the mark: 

1. https://codepen.io/GreenSock/pen/37ab2315a5599df13a172edeeffc53ee?editors=0010
2. https://codepen.io/GreenSock/pen/20ad5e2cc4c7f0e02e471d70927e73a6?editors=0010

(Read the comments in the JS code)

I'd *LOVE* to be able to tap into these technologies under the hood in GSAP, but from what I understand, it doesn't appear as though this feature will deliver what we really need in order to do that. Layering things on top of each other might help in some scenarios, but there are quite a few (as demonstrated above) that still seem to be impossible/cumbersome. Or perhaps I'm just missing something(?) Please forgive me if I botched something in the implementation.
