Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] CSS view transition auto name generation (Issue #1001)

jyasskin left a comment (w3ctag/design-reviews#1001)

We looked at this in a breakout today, and we agree with Jake that `auto` is not the right keyword for this fallback behavior. We appreciate the CSSWG's attempt to give developers a way to make view transitions that "just work", but it looks like the behavior has more sharp edges than expected. When CSS uses the `auto` keyword, it should generally be safe enough to be the default, and it doesn't look like this is. We don't feel strongly that there _must_ not be a keyword for this behavior, but because this behavior is achievable using `attr(id type(<custom-ident>), match-element)`, we'd encourage the WG and browsers to spend some more time looking for a safer default behavior before giving this behavior a keyword.

We're still satisfied with the `match-element` keyword, but switching the Resolution for the `auto` keyword.
