Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-multicol] Should we refer to definition of `column-gap` in Box Alignment? (#3641)

Don't we have the same situation here that we already had with `justify-content` and `align-*` properties defined in both [css-flexbox-1] and [css-align-3] simultaneously? IMHO, that precedent already showed some problems of such approach: it's really confusing, for both authors and implementors, and this confusion might lead to things like the infamous incomplete (Grid-only) implementation of new box alignment values in Blink.

What currently prevents moving the definition and replacing it with reference, as @meyerweb suggests? Is it the fact that [css-align-3] hasn't reached the CR status yet, unlike [css-break-3]? If so, maybe it would be better to speed up promoting [css-align-3] to CR and then moving the definition to it?
