Do you mean that the end of a guidelined element isn't a guideline ? That's 
pretty annoying, if you want my opinion. Anyway, if you had to add another 
column after the "price/reduction/total" column, you would have had to add 
another guideline, which would have made your sample impossible. Or you 
would have had to specify that right snapping only apply if right snapping 
is possible on a specific guideline. That quickly becomes complex, too. You 
end up with something worse than a named cell solution.

Anyway, I think you should probably make a document explaining all the 
properties you introduce, how they works, and provide samples (all your 
precedent samples were kinda great).

Grids can be embedded inside another grid, this is not a problem. You just 
need to specify style="grid-column: 1" to specify position in parent grid 
and "display: grid" to specify children are layed out as grids. However, one 
grid doesn't inherit from parent grid guidelines.
