Re: [w3c/webcomponents] Change 'CSS Modules' name to avoid webdev confusion (#843)

> Importing JavaScript = JavaScript modules
Importing JSON = JSON modules
Importing WASM = WASM modules
Importing HTML = HTML modules
Importing CSS = ??? modules

> […] I do also think it's unfortunate that the CSS Modules project named itself something so generic that would pretty obviously be used to describe a similar feature natively in the platform.

As far as I'm aware none of these module systems existed when CSS Modules was designed, built or conceived. Questioning them 4 years later why they named it that way is disrespectful.

CSS Modules is an immensely popular project as both @markdalgleish and I have demonstrated. 

If you forge on without changing the name, then you'd be willingly ignorant of the future problems you're knowingly creating for developers trying to implement CSS Modules. 

IMO, that's worth avoiding.
