> trigger-scope gives authors the ability to limit the names of animation

> Trigger-Instantiating properties, such as timeline-trigger, declare names
> which can be referenced by the animation-trigger property in order to
> attach animations to triggers. However, these names are global by default
> (similar to anchor-name) and it is often useful for author to limit the
> visibility of the names so as to isolate animation-to-trigger interactions.
