± From: fantasai [mailto:fantasai.lists@inkedblade.net] ± Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2012 6:03 PM ± ± > ± > before ± > start + end ± > after ± ± The before/after pair isn't used in many places (just a few, ± like caption-side), because so far it hasn't been necessary ± (since only horizontal writing modes existed) and because a ± number of places that need logical directions actually need ± the over/under pair instead. ± ± But note that if we ever wind up with logical properties, ± before/after will be nearly everywhere top/bottom is now. E.g. ± margin-before/margin-after, etc. ± ± ~fantasai BTW, just in case I didn't make it clear earlier, even though I have proposed using before/after for flex-align, I would prefer to keep start/end in both directions of grid-align. Unless we manage to come up with generic align properties, there is nothing to gain by having a different value in one out of six properties of flexbox and grid. Alex
