Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-view-transitions-2] [scoped] Clarify the ::v-t box and stacking context position relative to the scope (#12324)

Something I thought of just now _(or perhaps did before, but forgot about over the winter break 🙈)_: 

With `view-transition-name: root !important` in the UA stylesheet, authors can always immediately get to see the new state by hiding the `::view-transition-old(root)` + not-animating the `::view-transition-new(root)` – a practice that is already commonly used. This would no longer necessitate [a CSS property such as the proposed `view-transition-capture-mode`](https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/12324#issuecomment-3636012365), as the behavior is the same in that case.

This would make the feature dependent on #11596 _(The ability for authors to re-enable pointer events)_ but that’s something should do anyways and also doesn’t seem like an insurmountable problem to me.
