Re: [w3ctag/design-reviews] Incubation: seamless page transition with deferred commit (Issue #1177)

> [@noamr](https://github.com/noamr) Thanks for updating the explainer. We had a look again at our TAG F2F. There is still malformed markdown around "Possible usage:" in the code block for solution 1 - please could you fix that?

Fixed

> What user or developer research has been carried out to determine which transitions are most important to support? It's important to address the end user needs - even if only briefly - at the very start of the explainer. Please could you mention these? It's OK to quickly follow up with the developer needs that follow from those end user needs.

Done

Thanks, I've updated the explainer with some more details behind the declarative alternative. We did find that the imperative approach, though might be necessary for some use cases, is a bit footgunny as it requires cleaning up the state in case of BFCache restore.
