Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-view-transitions-2] [scoped] What is the layout of the ::v-t pseudo in relation to the scope? (#12324)

There have been other requests, unrelated to View Transitions, for the ability to position something against a specific container:

- #7475 (specifically [this comment](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7475#issuecomment-1182982687)) to add an extension to `position: fixed` to allow one to indicate _what_ to posfix against.
- #8762 to add `container-fixed` as a keyword for `position`
- #9868 to add a `position-container` property

I believe either one of those would solve this.

Also, if I read https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/11769#issuecomment-2776545248 correctly, I don’t think the `::view-transition` can anchor itself to the transition root. I tried it in Chrome Canary and it didn’t work for me.

```css
#scope {
  anchor-name: --scope;
}
#scope::view-transition {
  position-anchor: --scope;
  …
}
```
