Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-display][css-ui] Should outline apply to elements with 'display: contents'? (#3323)

I'm afraid that _any_ design of the feature like `display:contents` (aptly dubbed `display: schrodinger-cat;` in the discussion:) couldn't completely avoid any confusion. But the proposed solution looks significantly less confusing for users and authors than the existing implementations, and thus better conforming to the Priorities of Constituencies principle.

> case-by-case decision-making regarding which aspects of a box matter and which don't

As far as I understand, it's not the change in "which _aspects of the box_ matter", it's "which _boxes_ matter" that is changing. When the element clearly _has a visible and interactive box tree,_ making the closest visible boxes in that tree matter instead of _the only absent box_ in it makes much sense for me.
