> > [pcupp] Unification of all layout types into one is not a goal for the grid. If that's the goal of the new layout your proposing that's fine, but just to be clear it isn't feedback that I can act on. Because it goal for the guidelines. > >>Every author's solution, IMO, should as simple as possible. I don't want to create dozens of media queries, megabytes of CSS for every specific case, browser should rearrange the content automatically. >>This is dreams of many coders. Grid layout is not better than floats or tables (display: table-cell), this is different view of one thing. > > [pcupp] The grid isn't better or worse, but it is substantially different than both floats and tables. It addresses a different set of scenarios like dividing up the space in a viewport or building a control out of HTML primitives. I like to compare the grid to absolute positioning, except instead of using lengths to specify the position of the item, you express the position using grid lines; the location of which can be determined by sizing functions that space the grid lines based on a length, the contents between two lines, or remaining space in the grid. > I think, Tables + Flexes + Regions may completely substitute Grid layout -- s0rr0w
