Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-logical] Syntax for `margin`-like shorthands

I really don't think we should have `margin-*` or `*-margin` as a property or !keyword for this. Because then you would need to do it for padding, border (and border-width, border-style, and border-color), border-radius, and many others. It should be a single !keyword that can be used for all (I agree that action-at-a-distance is bad for this). 

If it is to be typed a lot (and really, that is the hope, that authors are considering bi-di and writing mode all the time), then it needs to be very short. I would say no more than 2-3 letters long. I still prefer an unadorned `!` for that reason, even though it would more likely lead to authors adding it without understanding why.
