Having I think we all agree that `@layer initial { }` is simply invalid and the whole block is rejected. However, what of `@layer foo, initial, bar;`? Is that whole rule rejected too, or do we simply order foo and bar and ignore the non-existing `initial` layer?
I'm not sure, but I suspect making the whole rule invalid is safer. Otherwise, we might have people who introduce a `@layer initial { }` block, fail to notice that that doesn't do anything, order that layer into the middle of the stack with `@layer foo, initial, bar;`, and some day, if we do make the `initial` keyword apply in that situation, that changes the ordering of their whole page. I think this scenario would be less likely to happen if we ignore the whole rule, as then the author would be confronted with the fact that the ordering of their `foo` and `bar` layer don't work either, making it easier to notice.
