Re: [csswg-drafts] [web-animations] Could commitStyles always write the end state of the animation? (#5394)

Great, thanks Rob!

> One thought about point 1 (doesn't affect this proposal), given that commitStyles applies styles at the bottom of the animation stack (i.e. because inline style applies before animation styles), it seems as if commitStyles could only apply the current animation rather than all animations beneath it with the expectation that you would have already had an opportunity to commit the animations below it. This may be less surprising than committing the effect of multiple animations with one call.

Yeah, I'm a little confused about this part. I _think_ the idea was that by compositing the lower animations, the result would be correct even if some of the animations lower in the cascade had not yet been removed but, as you point out, any such animations would clobber the inline style.

The [WPT for commitStyles](https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/blob/master/web-animations/interfaces/Animation/commitStyles.html) includes a few cases where it makes a difference, but I don't know if any of them represent real use cases.
