Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-mediaqueries] Should prefers-reduced-motion apply to behaviours built into the browser? (#6403)

I think this is largely out of scope for the specification, and browser should do what they feel is best. `prefers-reduced-motion` is not a setting set by the page author that the browser needs to honor somehow, but a preference exposed by the user agent to the page author, presumably based on some user setting.

Given that the user agent is in charge of determining when that setting should be exposed to the page, determining what it is the user want and what to do in response is its responsibility.

If you're taking the setting in from an OS level switch, rather than a browser specific preference, you may want to look at OS UI guidelines to know what behavior is expected.

If there is agreement among browsers about a particular behavior, I don't mind mentioning it in a note, but browser UI is generally out of scope for the normative parts of our specifications.
