> > I don't question the need to be able to turn this off, nor the need for interop when it is on. However that does not necessarily require the introduction of the ability to turn the magic on on arbitrary markup. It seems to me that the type of layout that it offers is very close to the sort of layout that can be achieved with grid. > > I don't think this is true. The way the legend takes up space outside the fieldset border, for example, can't be duplicated with grid afaict... I agree it is not true with grid as it is today, but I think it could be made true with subgrid, with some minor (and generally useful) tweaks compared how the spec is now. But mostly, I agree with your overall point: if this is not restricted to back compat for FIELDSET/LEGEND elements and is meant as a generic layout mechanism, that mechanism should be something that fits well with CSS. The general approach you've been proposing in earlier comments makes sense to me, and this thread is already long, so I'll try to convince you offline it could also be done with tweaks to subgrid; I'll drop this point if you prove me wrong; and raise it on grid if it turns out I'm onto something. -- GitHub Notification of comment by frivoal Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/3094#issuecomment-420993841 using your GitHub account
