[css-view-transitions-2] CSSViewTransitionRule.type overrides deprecated CSSRule.type

[cdoublev]

One may expect 0 from getting CSSViewTransitionRule.type.

The type attribute is deprecated. It must return an integer, as follows:

[...]

Otherwise, return 0.

I guess it is ok if it returns the descriptor value, but I would just like to make sure.

No, this does need fixing. The naming clash is unfortunate, but subclasses shouldn't override an attribute with an incompatible type.

[noamr]

OK, proposing typeList (like classList) as this is a DOMTokenList.

The CSS Working Group just discussed [css-view-transitions-2] `CSSViewTransitionRule.type` overrides deprecated `CSSRule.type` , and agreed to the following:

• RESOLVED: Change CSSViewTransitionRule .type to .typeList

The full IRC log of that discussion

<Frances> Tab: CSSViewTransitionRule as a .type is deprecated, it needs renaming such as typeList instead.
<bramus> SGTM
<TabAtkins> .type is already used in CSSRule (it's deprecated)
<Frances> PROPOSAL: Change CSSViewTransitionRule .type to .typeList
<Frances> RESOLVED: Change CSSViewTransitionRule .type to .typeList

Probably too late but it would have been nice to match the descriptor, the CSS rule attribute, and the argument property for startViewTransition(), eg. with active-type/activeType.

It allows blindly defining descriptors from the specified declarations with the appropriate algorithm, as is usually (always?) the case with other CSS rules mirroring specified declarations and exposed attributes.
