Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-view-transitions-2] Allow an auto-generated `view-transition-name` that doesn't default to ID (#10995)

To me this feels too verbose for a feature that's supposed to be a DX convenience... I think once `attr` is there we wouldn't need this. Though `first-non-empty might still be a valuable proposal regardless of auto view-transition-names. 

I think the direction the `auto` resolution went with is is to have some keywords that have reasonable defaults and to leave `attr` etc. for the general-purpose more complex cases.
