Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-anchor-position]: consistent naming convention for anchor-related properties (#12789)

@AleksandrHovhannisyan I think both approaches make sense. There wasn't much discussion of the option you're describing here, because nobody proposed it. Might have been an interesting discussion to have had earlier, but I suspect at this point it's to late to make syntactic changes that don't have very compelling "this is super confusing as-is" arguments?

Fwiw, I think people are often confused by "these properties go on the container vs these properties go on the child", so having this distinction encoded in the syntax might not be a bad outcome here.

All that said, I think the issue you filed is really great. You not only took the initiative to go from "this bit of the spec bugs me" to filing an issue, you did a really good job of outlining your concern and explaining it. And it's a reasonable and useful input to have into the design of the Anchor Positioning spec! I wish we'd had it a little earlier in the process. :)
