The spec draft seems to allow 'auto' both as a <custom-ident> and as
the separate 'auto' value.  This is confusing because the first is
not allowed to be part of a list, which means:
  will-change: auto;
and
  will-change: scroll-position, auto;
are referring to entirely separate 'auto' values.  I'm inclined to
think that the <custom-ident> here should additionally exclude the
'auto' value, making the second line above invalid.
