Re: Proposal: will-change property (formerly will-animate)

>From Benoit's email:

"Stacking context behavior:
will-change will induce a stacking context if the non-initial value of any
of the specified <custom-ident> match a CSS property induces a stacking
context."

A non-initial value of the ident "transform" induces a stacking context.
 The same text exists in Tab's draft.  Maybe we're reading different text?
