Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-view-transitions-2] Revisiting view-transition-name: auto keyword name (#12091)

I didn't follow the discussion of this closely, though @jakearchibald's concerns are very reasonable. I think we should make a step back and (re-)consider the anticipated use cases and how they can be solved with existing features like `attr()`.

And I also agree with him that any possible solution for use cases not covered by the existing functionality should try to work in both SPAs and MPAs as far as possible.

Having said that,

> But really, why are we even considering this?

I guess because of #8320, which you kicked off, @jakearchibald.😉 Again, I don't have the full picture on this, so I am missing whether _fully automatic_ matching of elements is something desirable.
