Aside from "it's the new W3C logo, with the text 'world wide web consortium' in a circle around the outside", what alt text would you use to describe this?

commitStyles() has existed for years, but now in Firefox, it behaves like I always thought it should. Firefox is the first to make this change, but hopefully others will follow soon. developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

It knows the difference between in & out, so it doesn't get inverted. In Home Assistant I've set up buttons that can be used to manually toggle in/out state.

I'm missing something. If I set the transform origin to the cat's face, and applied a scale, wouldn't I get this animation rather than one that brings the cat's head into the centre?
