paul: only one item in last mtg

<PaulG> https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/4264

paul: css scroll anchoring, and adding values

paul: default is that scroll position is maintained so the window doesn't jump around

paul: can be user overwritten

paul: suggestion is some additional prefer type velues

paul: believe little for us

paul: goal is to have user intent in viewport; but still give authors a bit of control

matatk: sounds like a good thing

matatk: wondering about convergence with focus always visible in wcag 2.2? Any interaction with that SC?

paul: feel like no clash

paul: not when focus is changing, but whether it moves or stays put when content is loaded around it

paul: possible there could be implementation issues, but so far don't see a problem
