It reminded me that I do not believe `inset-area` is the best name for this property. It's the area for the thing, cool. But it's insetting from what? Why is it called inset area? If I'm a developer trying to remember the name of the property cold, as I write CSS to create an anchor and put it someplace, why am I going to think "oh, I need to describe the area for the inset"?

I think we can find a property name that describes the tool developers will be reaching for. Perhaps `position-area` or `anchor-area`.
