Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-view-transitions-2] [scoped] Choose the name of the API to contain view transition names (#13123)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `[css-view-transitions-2] [scoped] Choose the name of the API to contain view transition names`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: Add view-transition-scope: none | all`
* `RESOLVED: Add UA stylesheet rule :active-view-transition { view-transition-scope: all }`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;fantasai> vmpstr: We can run multiple view transitions. Want to be able to scope names so that they are only exposed to their parent view transition.<br>
&lt;fantasai> vmpstr: We suggest following the exiting pattern and propose view-transition-scope<br>
&lt;fantasai> vmpstr: Would have values such as 'none'. Unsure about 'auto' vs 'all'.<br>
&lt;fantasai> vmpstr: not planning ability to indicate individual names<br>
&lt;bramus> q+<br>
&lt;fantasai> vmpstr: Also propose 'all' for something you call scoped transition on<br>

&lt;astearns> ack tantek<br>
&lt;astearns> ack bramus<br>
&lt;fantasai> bramus: Example where this is needed. View transitions running within the two lists<br>
&lt;fantasai> bramus: This type of stuff wouldn't work<br>
&lt;fantasai> bramus: I like the name -scope because of alignment with other scoping<br>
&lt;fantasai> bramus: Preference for 'all' keyword so we have consistency.<br>
&lt;fantasai> bramus: Even though won't get a list of idents<br>
&lt;astearns> ack fantasai<br>
&lt;fantasai> fantasai: +1 to Bramus<br>
&lt;fantasai> fantasai: If you need an automatically flipping value, can call that 'auto'<br>
&lt;noamr> q+<br>
&lt;astearns> ack noamr<br>
&lt;fantasai> noamr: Automatic flipping can be done in terms of UA stylesheet<br>
&lt;noamr> :active-view-transition { view-transition-scope: all }<br>
&lt;fantasai> sgtm<br>
&lt;bramus> +1<br>
&lt;fantasai> vmpstr: sgtm<br>
&lt;fantasai> PROPOSED: Add view-transition-scope: none | all<br>
&lt;fantasai> RESOLVED: Add view-transition-scope: none | all<br>
&lt;fantasai> PROPOSED: Add UA stylesheet rule above.<br>
&lt;fantasai> RESOLVED: Add UA stylesheet rule :active-view-transition { view-transition-scope: all }<br>
