So the original popover API included this feature (`popover=hint`). That
original API had not just one, but three TAG reviews (1
<https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/599>, 2
<https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/680>, 3
<https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/743>), and 2.5 of them
included the `popover=hint` behavior. I was hoping I reached my TAG quota
and could avoid another review. LMK if that makes sense.

I'm guessing (without evidence) that this is because of the Webkit-induced
uncertainty around this feature. I'm hoping this I2S alleviates some of
that uncertainty. I think this is a good feature, and Mozilla
<https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/965> and developers
<https://github.com/openui/open-ui/issues/1114#issuecomment-2463048194>
both seem to agree.

Thanks,
Mason
