Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-grid] Stretching image grid items in both dimensions

What you are suggesting is that `stretch` is identical to `normal`, 
except for the combination `stretch/stretch` which ignores the ratio.

That seems _a lot_ less useful to authors, IMHO.  As you can see in 
the testcase:
https://people-mozilla.org/~mpalmgren/tests/grid/grid-item-image-grow.html
making `stretch` ratio-destroying and `normal` ratio-preserving gives 
the author _a lot_ more control over the resizing behavior. And since 
`normal` is the default, specifying `center` or whatever in one axis 
gives ratio-preserving resizing by default. It's only when the author 
_explicitly_ specifies `stretch` that the resizing starts to be 
ratio-destroying.

I think you're suggestion is a big mistake and I would like to hear 
what others think about this before changing our implementation.  Web 
developers in particular.
