Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-cascade-5] Allow authors to explicitly place unlayered styles in the cascade layer order (#6323)

I lean towards keeping this simple. The `up` `down` thing feels over engineered to me. 

I also don't like the word `initial`. It may make sense to folks on the CSSWG, but to the outside world of web developers, `initial` means browser defaults. Their unlayered styles are not the initial styles. The UA styles are the initial styles. 

I confirmed this with a [name-bikeshed bait tweet.](https://twitter.com/jensimmons/status/1460723779596959753)

I believe `unlayered` or some other word that means “outside a layer” would be better. By using the word “layer”, we make it easier for non-English speakers to pair the two words together: `@layer` and `unlayered` or (similar).
