Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-anchor-position] Allow multiple names in position-anchor, for fallback (#12576)

Yup, just noting that *all* cross-element name references like this in CSS don't pay attention to specificity when resolving name conflicts; they all consistently resolve such conflicts just by looking at the DOM structure (generally (always?) "last wins", like what anchor references do).

Involving specificity in this process would be a novel change, and I think usually not what you want. For example, if the "selected" element sets its `anchor-name` via the `style` attribute, then hovering would need to use `!important` to get `anchor-name` to win.
