Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-cascade] Should 'revert' really treat animation origin as author origin? (#7083)

I don't have a strong opinion on how `revert` should behave for animations.

I think when I wrote the [email in 2012](https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2012Dec/0270.html), we'd spent a long time talking about origins as UA-user-author, and those origins do have value in that they reflect the [priority of constituencies](https://w3ctag.github.io/design-principles/#priority-of-constituencies).  Since then, we've moved towards a definition of origins that includes more items and more closely matches how implementations work.

I still think there's some value in aligning with the priority of constituencies.  However, I don't see a whole lot of use cases for `revert` in animations (though maybe I'm missing something), so if doing something different for animations makes things easier to implement, I think that's an entirely reasonable thing to do in order to save the implementation effort for things that are more valuable.
