Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-break] box-decoration-break and multi-box inline elements

Yes, this is very much not "a single box with multiple fragments", or at least, it's very unclear precisely what it is right now.  We talk about it in terms of splitting into several boxes, with the block box descendant becoming a sibling box to the top-level inline box. For *many* purposes, it's indistinguishable from that; that is, the end effect of:

```
<inline>foo<block>bar</block>foo</inline>
```

is identical to the end effect of:

```
<inline>foo</inline><block>bar</block><inline>foo</inline>
```

Not for all purposes, certainly, but layout treats the two equivalently, for instance.  (Unless the inline's container intervenes before splitting can happen and blockifies or inlinifies the element, of course.)
