I agree. I don't think 'ua' or 'default' properly convey what it does.

If the feature resets to the previous origin. Why not call it like it is:
'origin'? Or 'reset-origin'. But 'reset' doesn't have much value either.

'initial' already refers to a previous state. i.e. 'reset-to-initial-state'

'origin' carries the same meaning, with an added technical education value.

Unless 'origin' has some kind of future application relative to
'same-origin-policy' for which it should be reserved for. I don't see an
issue using that keyword for CSS since it matches the spec terminology.
