Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-view-transitions-2] Extend `waitUntil` so that it can delay the start of the View Transition (animating phase) (#13013)

For image loading in particular, wouldn't it be better usually to start the animation immediately and cross-fade between the thumbnail and the big image? Waiting for image loading before starting the motion seems like an anti-pattern in terms of responsive feel.

Also, can't this be done with normal CSS animations or WAAPI, e.g. by starting with a paused animation and changing its play state when the image is loaded? (Currently with JS, and using `:has` and `css` when we get `:loaded` or whatnot).
