> I'm struggling to find places where this would be useful. Positing a pseudo-element relative to its parent is generally easy, right? Because it's inside its parent, the usual abs-pos stuff just works. Or am I missing something? There's a lot of positioning options with anchor positioning that are not trivial or not possible with simple absolute position. E.g. try to implement position-area with fallback options based on available space. As an example, I could create an arrow that points to the element from the side which is not clipped: https://flackr.github.io/web-demos/css-anchor-position/indicators.html Sidenote, I intended the arrows to rotate in the below fallback position but `@position-try` [doesn't allow transform properties](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-anchor-position-1/#fallback-rule) right now, perhaps it should? -- GitHub Notification of comment by flackr Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/11792#issuecomment-3879871700 using your GitHub account -- Sent via github-notify-ml as configured in https://github.com/w3c/github-notify-ml-config
