Element-scoped view transitions
Call element.startViewTransition() on any HTML element to run a view transition scoped to that subtree, rather than the entire document. Multiple element-scoped transitions can run concurrently, nested transitions work naturally, and position-fixed content outside the scope stays interactive throughout.

MDN: Element.startViewTransition()
MDN's Element.startViewTransition() reference covers the element-scoped API — its syntax, the returned transition object and browser compatibility. gendn doesn't duplicate that here. (This stub cites the Element method per the Campaign T retarget note; the previous built page cited the Document-scoped method.)
