Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-animations-2] Should animation triggers be their own spec? (#13245)

The CSS Working Group just discussed `[css-animations-2] Should animation triggers be their own spec?`, and agreed to the following:

* `RESOLVED: create animation-triggers-1 module`
* `RESOLVED: editors will be flackr, DavidA and ydaniv`

<details><summary>The full IRC log of that discussion</summary>
&lt;JoshT> ydaniv: raised by fantasai. animation trigger is spread out on css-animations-2 and web-animations-2<br>
&lt;JoshT> ... one the implementation syntax. one author facing<br>
&lt;flackr> q+<br>
&lt;JoshT> ... it might make sense to grab all of it and have it in its own module<br>
&lt;JoshT> ... but concerned we might have problems with cyclic imports. is it an issue with bikeshed tool?<br>
&lt;JoshT> ... if not, I support the proposal<br>
&lt;bramus> +1<br>
&lt;astearns> ack flackr<br>
&lt;JoshT> ... have animation-triggers-1, assign editors<br>
&lt;JoshT> flackr: first thing is the way we define animation triggers, they could be used in other specs in the future. are they more generic triggers?<br>
&lt;JoshT> ... second, all of the trigger specific stuff about when to activate and deactivate belongs in the spec, but should keep the animation-trigger and the web animation trigger property in those specs<br>
&lt;JoshT> ... all of the details about how to set up a trigger move to a new spec<br>
&lt;bradk> I have to leave<br>
&lt;bradk> Bye<br>
&lt;JoshT> astearns: opinions on whether it's aimation-triggers or triggers?<br>
&lt;bradk> 😀<br>
&lt;JoshT> flackr: could we rename the shorthand later?<br>
&lt;bramus> css-triggers?<br>
&lt;JoshT> fantasai: yes ChrisL can do it<br>
&lt;JoshT> astearns: proposal is to create a css animation triggers spec and move everything into it<br>
&lt;JoshT> bramus: could we call it css-triggers and encapsulate all types of triggers<br>
&lt;JoshT> flackr: could it apply to things other than animations in the future<br>
&lt;JoshT> fantasai: from a branding perspective, I think animation triggers for now. people looking for it would look for that<br>
&lt;JoshT> RESOLVED: create animation-triggers-1 module<br>
&lt;JoshT> RESOLVED: editors will be flackr, DavidA and ydaniv<br>
&lt;JoshT> ydaniv: what shortname. have css- prefix?<br>
&lt;JoshT> astearns: without css- for now<br>
