Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-logical] Flow-relative syntax for `margin`-like shorthands

However, I also agree with the concerns about `!relative` or `relative` or `-relative` potentially being too much of a typing burden; as I mentioned in the OP, we do expect this to become the default mode of assignment for many authors, so I'd say it's fair to trade a bit of obscurity for a bit of typing efficiency.

Even if we expect this to become the default mode of assignment for many authors, I would still prefer clarity & readability to typing efficiency, because the latter can be mitigated by code completion and code snippets in authoring tools, and IMHO shouldn't be a major concern when designing a language like CSS.
