Specification
https://drafts.csswg.org/css-anchor-position-1/#position-anchor

Summary
We are changing the initial value of the "position-anchor" CSS property from "none" to normal to align with other browsers and the specification. "normal" behaves like "none" if the "position-area" CSS property is "none", otherwise behaves as "auto".
