Our Commentary ​

Ah, the ever-shifting sands of CSS spec names. motion-path to offset-path makes sense, I guess, but it's another little mental update we all have to make. It's a good reminder that even established features can see nomenclature changes. I appreciate CSS-Tricks for keeping these almanac entries updated. It's the kind of detail that saves me a quick search when I inevitably forget the latest naming convention.
