The idea was to reuse an API name that developers are already familiar with, in a similar context. The name is also being used in XRSession ( https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/XRSession/requestAnimationFrame), and in OffscreenCanvas (or technically DedicatedWorkerGlobalScope). The AnimationFrameProvider mixin <https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/imagebitmap-and-animations.html#animationframeprovider> could also be updated so HTMLVideoElement can extend it.
Yes, this isn't formally spec'ed out, but it will be. For now, they are added to the task queue and run like any other task. So, going off the spec you linked, I think this would be "5) Perform oldestTask's step" and not "10) Rendering: [...] 11. Foreach document run animation frame callbacks for that Document".
