Re: [csswg-drafts] Suggest a better name for the `:interest-target` pseudo class (#12515)

The CSS Working Group just discussed ``Suggest a better name for the `:interest-target` pseudo class``, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: use :interest-source and :interest-target`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;JoshT> masonf: We resolved to add these pseudo elements a month ago<br>
&lt;JoshT> ... poll on the naming. two pseudos<br>
&lt;JoshT> ... put the results into a final survey<br>
&lt;JoshT> ... results are: :interest-source and :interest-target. the nearest runner up is :interest-invoker and :interest-invoked<br>
&lt;TabAtkins> +1<br>
&lt;kbabbitt> +1<br>
&lt;JoshT> ... so propose :interest-source and :interest-target<br>
&lt;JoshT> fantasai: :interest-source is a cool direction to go in<br>
&lt;JoshT> ... I wish we could come up with a cooler one for it but hard!<br>
&lt;JoshT> astearns: thanks masonf for running polls<br>
&lt;fantasai> s/cooler one/better name for :interest-target/<br>
&lt;JoshT> masonf: polling feature on GitHub is useful<br>
&lt;JoshT> RESOLVED: use :interest-source and :interest-target<br>
&lt;JoshT> astearns: if someone comes up with a better name for :interest-target, please open a new issue<br>
</details>
