Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-align][css-multicol] 'justify-content' other than 'normal' or 'stretch' should change column count/size rules

As far as I can see, your objections are:

1. In the current spec, you can't *robustly* set up padding that matches the default column-gap (or half of it); this will be moot once we resolve on #2145 and just specify that "normal" is 1em, rather than a UA-defined length.

2. The default behavior of justify-content: space-around/between on multicol ends up with the space between columns *not* being the correct ratio with the space on either side, because the space between is `1em + distribution-space`; this has a trivial fix (set `column-gap: 0`) and fixing it in any other way would require special-casing multicol to act differently than every other place where gaps and distribution interact, which seems very bad. Elika and I would both strongly object to this.

3. You might want space on either end of your columns when there are 2+, but not when there is only 1, and the suggestion to "set padding+gaps to the right ratio" will instead always cause space on either end; I don't see why you'd want this. :/
