<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;dael> Topic:  [css-cascade] Better name for "custom origins"?<br>
&lt;dael> github: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4981<br>
&lt;dael> miriam: Term origin has a meaning. If this is falling anywhere different or interacts in a different way it maybe desrives a name without that meaning.<br>
&lt;dael> miriam: Some discussion. Proposal for scope but that's loaded. Payling with "layers" or "intents" but don't know if there's one that stands out.<br>
&lt;dael> TabAtkins: I favor cascade layers. Distinguishes but gives right idea<br>
&lt;dael> jensimmons: Talking with other folks the word layer is good. Invokes photoshop for some authors and way it's used in graphic design. Layer speaks for itself, it's a good word to have in there<br>
&lt;jensimmons> cascade layers is :)<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: How about we call them cascade layers and if we have a bette ridea in the future we file and issue<br>
&lt;dael> miriam: Like that<br>
&lt;dael> AmeliaBR: Interest in expanding so existing things in spec as origins are also cascade layers? Same arg that origin has other meanings.<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: I am cautiously in favor. Have to see how this shakes out, but if similar mechanism we should rename. If they're different we have to rethink.<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: I think it would be cool if we could redefine things in terms of this. I don't think we should take that as a design constraint. Nice if but not a requirement<br>
&lt;dael> fantasai: Yeah. Switch to cascade layers and once ew figure out the proposal more if it makes sense to combine we rename origins<br>
&lt;dael> astearns: Hearing consensus on cascade layers. Anyone opposed?<br>
&lt;dael> RESOLVED: Call these "cascade layers"<br>
