Please rename the subject when you're going to discuss the work on a new

That seems premature. Have we implemented all the perf optimizations for
layout, size, & paint containment? I'd rather not start piling on more
features before we get to a point where we're happy with the performance of
these features.

Since content-visibility depends on paint and style containment, we will do

Does the research part also include making a judgement call as to whether
it's a good idea at all? It's wholly unclear to me that content-visibility
is a feature we'd like to implement in WebKit given its implications to the
accessibility and other browser features.
