fantasai and I discussed this a bit today after reading Brad's email, and concluded that we did want to stick with just "start" and "end". Details: For today's simple 1-axis floats, "start" and "end" are unambiguous and simple, and consistent with text-align/etc. In the future when we have 2-axis floats (as in the Page Floats module), 'float' can become a 2-value property, consistent with the proposals for background-position and scroll-snap-align. If you specify one value, it will duplicate to the second value (as normal for CSS). The default float-reference (inline) will only pay attention to the inline-axis value, so the extraneous block-axis value is ignored (similar to how scroll-snap-align only pays attention to the relevant axis). For the 2d float references (column, region, page), saying "float: start" will just put you in the start/start corner, which seems fine. ~TJ
