Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-view-transitions-1] CSS selector syntax for generated elements and API names (#7788)

> I continue to object to the idea that calling the images "images" is somehow confusing.

The plurality of the name is confusing to me. This is referring to a single element, which indeed is a container of images, but it's a container (singular), it's not images. When I'm selecting this element, and I have `view-transition-images(...) { ... }` I know that this is a single element, because I worked on this feature :) but if I didn't, I don't know if this is some sort of magic CSS to select all constituent images.

To draw a contrived analogy, it's kind of like instead of `<ol>` calling it `<ordereditems>`. It isn't items, it's a list (singular) of items and when selecting `ol { }` i'm selecting a single container element vs `ordereditems { }` selecting seemingly multiple items

Personally, I don't have any objections to using the word "image", but I want this to be something like `image-group` or `image-list`, not `images`
