Description

Having read through the spec, I think it would be easier to understand if the dynamic UA style rules were somehow factored out of the depths of the algorithm. (I've got some vague ideas of how to do this, so I think it's possible to do it nicely.) Filing this (non-blocking) issue to track the idea.

Research direction

Start by reading the CSS View Transitions Level 1 specification and locate the dynamic UA style rules embedded in the algorithm. Review the surrounding algorithm and the spec text to determine a clear factoring structure; done means the rules are separated in a way that makes the algorithm easier to understand without changing its meaning.
