Agreed that these are important use cases for us to address within the context of keyword mappings. The main difficulty here is that the mapping is layout-dependent and can vary among fragments of a single box. For this reason, I think we have to defer this to another level. But it's being tracked in https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/255 and hopefully will have a home in the future. :) ~fantasai
