Re: [csswg-drafts] [web-animations-1] Should calling `reverse()` set `effect.timing.direction` to `"reverse"`?

The playback direction is a static timing property of an effect. It describes from which way the keyframes are iterated over, including alternating backwards and forwards.

The playback rate is a runtime property of an animation used to change how the linked effect is viewed at the current time.

As an analogy the playback direction is like the property that describes whether the credits on a DVD scroll up or down, while the playback rate is a property of the DVD player that describes whether you are fast-forwarding, rewinding, or playing at the moment.
