**Use case**: a designer / developer / designoper is able to create a grid overlay made using the grid spec, this overlay can then be viewed in the browser as a device for laying-out content. Otherwise grid alignment, and understanding the possible variations using a grid, is essentially 'by eye'. Other than being able to imagine the structure of a grid layout, or refer to a piece of paper with a grid drawn out on it whilst working, there inevitably needs to be a way to display a grid of this kind if said user is solely working with the browser. There are reference books which teach the use of grid layout, I haven't seen a single book that doesn't show a grid overlay as part of the process. Screen shots from a PDF on the book _Grid Systems in Graphic Design_ written by: Josef Müller-Brockmann to demonstrate. ![image](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1900222/23025476/0ba02cfe-f456-11e6-94d7-15e66f2efc93.png) ![image](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/1900222/23025326/7a94f1b8-f455-11e6-9893-a2aeb83b18db.png) -- GitHub Notification of comment by morganfeeney Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/499#issuecomment-280353602 using your GitHub account
