As the net effect of the properties is not a motion but an offset, maybe the module itself should get renamed to something like 'Offset Path Module' or just 'Offset Module'? > This name actually makes the most sense of anything we've come up with.

In regard of this, I had another idea. The prefix could be 'offset-path' instead of just 'offset'. Then the properties would be named like this: offset-path-shape offset-path-distance offset-path-position offset-path-anchor offset-path-rotation offset-path This resolves the conflicts with Web Animations and Logical Properties and keeps the meaning of the properties, only their names get a bit longer.
