Summary

The CSSWG resolved to rename this property, because "fallbacks" more
accurately describes what this property controls. The word "options" is a
bit deceiving, since the styles outside of `position-try` blocks will be
tested first, and if they result in a layout that fits within the
containing block, none of the "options" will get used. So "fallbacks" is a
better word to describe this behavior.

Risks


Interoperability and Compatibility

This is a name change, which will result in the old name no longer
functioning. So there is a risk of breakage. However, the anchor
positioning feature was very recently shipped, and does not have
implementation in other browsers. So we feel the risk is quite small
currently, but will grow over time. Given that, we'd like to rename this
property ASAP to avoid the risk getting too large. The use counter is
currently quite low, around 0.01% in June:
https://chromestatus.com/metrics/css/timeline/popularity/784 An HTTP
Archive search was performed, which showed that almost all usage comes from
one Shopify CSS file (`spec-and-compare.css`), and we intend to reach out
to Shopify (or hope for a response from one very special Blink API owner)
to make sure this will not break Shopify.

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or
interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues
in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may
introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of
the API in a non-backward-compatible way).
None
