Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-anchor-position-1] position-visibility: anchors-visible should be clear about when is visibility determined (#12732)

I don't think that's necessary. Without a transition, this is *exactly identical* to just setting `opacity:0` by hand (and it doesn't matter whether or not you're a stacking context). With a transition, it's still *exactly identical* to just setting `opacity:0` by hand (and there's already author guidance recommending setting `will-change: opacity` in this case, for precisely this reason).

If the transition happened *automatically* my opinion would probably be different, but it doesn't - the author still has to explicitly say `transition: opacity 1s` in their stylesheet, so either they *already* have a reflex for setting `will-change: opacity` as well and everything will do great, or they don't have that reflex and it's bad for any of their `opacity` transforms. I don't think we need to solve this for them.
